Thank you, Mr. Chair. With respect to the sourcing contract supplier contract management, this again, it’s a separate module in SAM, and it was something we had intended to do when we originally implemented the system, but the budget we had wouldn’t allow for it. Really what this will do, it will help address some of the concerns of the Auditor General when they did their audit for procurement a few years back, while having a system that will provide consistent and complete information with respect to contracting and sourcing as well as maintaining clearly tracked deliverables and payment schedules. It will help ensure our employees who are procurement employees who work in procurement and shared services have the right tools to do their job. In addition, it will help provide for an enhanced vendor experience with the GNWT by putting our procurement online and allowing businesses who under procurement with the GNWT to do that business online and track where their contracts are going.
So we’re looking for $50,000 in ’15-16, and we will also be looking to supplementary appropriation of moving some O and M money out of the Department of Finance’s budget and converting it to
capital to complete this project in this fiscal year. Thank you.
