Thank you, Mr. Chair. About a year or so ago when we were being challenged to deliver a large number of capital projects, including a large number of bridge projects, we did go out with an RFP to procure the services of a team to help us with some of the bridge design, bridge management, construction supervision services. We put into that RFP the projects up to the magnitude of the Deh Cho Bridge. Associated Engineering was a firm that we selected as part of that process. So it was a public process. We feel as part of that, that we did get the best firm, the best team that was available to us. Associated Engineering themselves is a very large national firm with offices across Canada with much bridge experience. Individuals that are on this team and the three individuals in particular that are going to be on site to help supervise the construction, manage the project, are all familiar with the North having done other work for us. The one individual just came off of the Kakisa River Bridge where he did a great job in supervising the contractor ensuring that bridge was completed on time, on budget.

Other individuals, one of the other engineers is just coming off the Golden Ears Bridge in British Columbia. I don’t know the magnitude exactly, but a very significant structure, lots of considerable experience in supervising the bridge.

We have every confidence in their abilities to be able to carry us forward and ensure that the bridge is successfully completed. Thank you.
