I hear the Member’s

concerns around P3 projects and we have, before moving forward with this particular project, reviewed other P3s that were done for the construction of hospital facilities across the country and there have been some that have worked out not particularly well, but we also know that there have been some that have worked out. We’ve also reviewed the Auditor Ge

neral’s reports and other reports that

were conducted on some of those P3 projects and we’ve moved forward, recognizing the number of the recommendations that were put forward in those

particular

projects.

One

of

the

recommendations, I believe it was in one of the facilities in Ontario, is that you need to have a hard cap on the construction component of the P3 project, and we have a hard cap of around $300 million, maybe slightly over $300 million of the P3 project to replace Stanton facilities. We also have checks and balances and teams put together to monitor the progress to make sure that we’re getting what we want when we expect to get it, and some external reviews that will help us obviously ensure that we are meeting our commitment and the contractor’s commitment moving forward to make sure that we get this facility that’s going to provide high quality services to all the residents of the Northwest Territories over the next 30 years.
