Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, background on change orders, contracts, we do have change orders on a regular basis. In our performance measures, we do try to track change orders and try to keep the number of change orders as small as possible. We do track that on all our projects.

In this particular case, as the Minister said, we did an ESA, we had a consultant to do ESA work on that project initially a number of years ago before the school was vacated, so that we could get some overall general estimate of the cost of doing remediation work on that building. Once the building was vacated this summer, we went back and hired a consultant to do a detailed ESA which included destructive testing, sampling, lab work and detailed quantities. Unfortunately, as the Minister said, that consultant did miss some of the materials in there.

We’ve had a process in place for a number of years. We’ve done a number of these demolitions, starting back I think with Akaitcho Hall, we’ve done Deh Cho Hall, we’ve done the Tulita school and the Fort Good Hope school, and in each one of those we’ve had some lessons learned that we’ve tried to apply going forward.

In this case, we have another lesson here with the consultant and his ESA, and we’ve decided that at

this point, before we proceed with SAMS, we’re going to go back and do another ESA with an independent third party to verify, so that we don’t get into the situation on the next one. As the Minister said, we believe that the change orders that are before us are manageable within the budget of the project and we’re confident that we are going to complete that project within the funds that have been appropriated for it.
