Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, as I had stated earlier, there’s a very fundamental question here about what’s being said here in the public forum. Even in committee, if
Members, if any Member has information, credible information of deficiencies by people who are ready to put their status on the line, then do that. Let’s deal with the issue. But to continue to wave a flag about and make these comments is very dangerous to the professional credibility of all people.
We have a new project team, Associated Engineering, who is going to take over this and do the audit and provide that information. The Minister has committed to working with committee going forward on that basis. The Member said let’s compare pictures. Well, let’s go beyond just comparing pictures because, I mean, I could sit here and you could show me a picture of a rock. I couldn’t tell you if that was a rock that was, how big, the size, compared, is there a quarter beside it, is it the size of a football or what? The structure of that rock? I couldn’t tell you that. So putting a picture on the table and saying this is what it is, is one thing. The Member himself said in this forum he’s not an expert in the area. So let’s get the experts and let’s get them to verify the information on both sides.
As we have a new project team who will take this on I’m sure they’re not going to take on faulty workmanship and have them sign their names and status on the line to a project that is going to be hauling people across the river. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We can go to Minister Michael McLeod.
