Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are addressed to the Minister of Transportation and I’d like to thank both the Minister of Transportation and Finance for the
package of information on the Deh Cho Bridge that we received the other day. It was comprehensive and there was a lot of information in there, which Members have been asking for.
I spoke about the bridge last week and in my statement I asked for two things. I asked for an analysis of the costs, how they were accumulated from inception until now, and I also asked for protocols for the future. My first question to the Minister is in regard to the bridge project’s estimates and the costs to date information that was contained in the package of information we got the other day. I didn’t see any obvious reference in either of those two items to what I called “hidden costs” in my statement, and by that I mean the work that’s been done by GNWT staff, the Department of Transportation, Department of Justice, Department of Finance. So I’d like to ask the Minister where do those costs show up in this summary that we received the other day. Thank you.
