Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'm not really sure where to start with this. I haven't been obviously impacted in the people that I represent, but I see that other people around the territory have been impacted by, I guess, we don't want to use the word "mistakes," but maybe a bit of a miscalculation on the part of the people doing this.
For the most part, the weather, the ice, and all that is pretty well consistent from year to year. I mean, I'm not saying it's the same every year. I mean the one thing that's predictable is that the weather is not predictable. That's what I'm saying. When NTCL or a company like that operates or MTS operates, they would operate with that knowledge that the weather is not predictable.
I think that rather than a mistake or blaming Mother Nature, I think it was a miscalculation on the part of MTS. That miscalculation cost a lot of people a lot of money in the Member from Nunakput's riding and also for Nunavut. I also feel that it was a miscalculation on the part of the government, period, too, and by NTCL. Originally, I was not in favour of it but had no say in it. There were other companies that would bid for the work and felt that they had more knowledge of the shipping than what the government would bring in, but that's water under the bridge.
I have a question for the Minister. That is: after this year, what is MTS doing to debrief to make sure that they try to do better calculations when they are trying to ship into those communities that they were not able to completely ship in? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
