Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a couple of other things, if I could. On the bridge, I know some other Members were talking about delays. You know, it’s one thing if the project does get delayed for a month or two or six; it’s another thing if it costs us $20 or $30 million dollars more than what we have got budgeted for the project and that’s the thing we really need to keep our eye on, is the overall cost of the project.

To date, as I mentioned earlier, the management seems to be there. The diligence and the day-to-day management of the project seems to be there. Again, having not seen the contract that’s between the Deh Cho Bridge Corporation and Ruskin; it’s hard for me to understand where our risks lie in any eligible cost overruns of delays in the project. I’m sure the Minister and the department are much more aware of what those risks are and where liabilities lie in that regard.

The other thing, too, I’ll just mention, in a contract of this size, when you tally it all up, $190 million by the time it’s done, maybe even more, it would be interesting to see how much of that money actually stayed in the Northwest Territories and how much of a training and employment opportunity there has been for the community of Fort Providence and the South Slave region. How many people have been trained and employed on the project from the community? You know, who can take those skills and job experience away with them once the crews are gone and that bridge is open. At the end of the day, we are going to have to step back and have a good look at this project and see who here were successful and who weren’t successful, so that when other big projects come along we can ensure that we get the maximum opportunities for people who are in close proximity to the project.

Again, I do appreciate and I don’t want anybody to think I don’t appreciate the work that the department is doing. We just have to keep our eye on the budget. Given the current financial state of the Territory, if this project was to slip in any meaningful way, I’m talking 10 or 15 percent, it would cause a lot of concern here, that’s for sure.

So, again, I just wanted to mention that for the record. Thank you.
