The external review will help us identify exactly what was known and when. The department was not aware of this particular situation until August 6th . I have had a couple

briefings on this particular issue with staff from Stanton and staff from the department and there have been some rumblings out there. In fact, I understand that there were some issues between Yellowknife Health and Social Services and Stanton, but when they reviewed those they thought those were an internal issue and didn’t realize the territorial scope of this problem until August 6th . At that time,

and I just want to correct the Member, the issue with the vendor was ticketed, which means they were made aware. The vendor actually didn’t get into Yellowknife until a couple days later. But as soon as the issue became aware, as soon as it was understood that this was not just a communication error between two authorities but this was a territorial issue, the vendors were immediately ticketed. They were ticketed on the 6th . It took them a couple days

to get in, but they started working on the problem on that day, once they were officially ticketed.
