Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just under forest management, I see Schiltee lookout tower upgrade. Mr. Chair, this has been an ongoing project here for the last number of years. The community was trying to work with the department to possibly negotiate this. The amount of money that has been spent on this after putting it out to tender, contractors were hired. They made an awful mess of the terrain, too, as they try to do this work. A little too late.
If they worked with the community, they would have had adequate time to haul the material out with the snowmobiles. That way, they wouldn't ever damage the land. A lot of unnecessary funding has been going into this. It could have been up a long time ago. Moving forward, when the community does try to offer assistance in building these type of units, we should be working with them. That is my question on this project. Thank you.
