I can answer that question for the Minister here because it was answered in that report on page 3. I quote, “Todd Slack (YKDFN) asked if there had been any sampling done before the new highway was constructed. Erika Nyyssonen (GNWT-ENR) said that DOT did not do any baseline sampling before the road went in.” So, Mr. Speaker, this is clear evidence that the
DOT failed to provide the necessary liability aspects for potential risk to workers and contractors.
Does the Minister know if there has been any baseline sampling done that he is aware of or the department has done during the construction life of the Highway No. 4 bypass? Thank you.
