Masi, Madam Chair. Obviously, I would just like to have a clear dialogue with the department. Obviously, we've learned from TASR, we've learned from Tlicho All Season Road. This Rae Access Road, if we didn't meet the public tender, would still be out there. Obviously, it would have gotten even worse from my leadership. I'm glad the Premier and Minister met with us to deal with that. It shouldn't come to that, that's what I'm saying. We should have a concrete written agreement with such agreements, similar to what the Member for Kam Lake is alluding to, that there is 80 percent going to northern contracts. Is that written in stone within a contract? I know the contracts are different and a different calibre of the whole Northwest Territories. I'm just wondering, Madam Chair, if it is written in such a way that the Northerners are benefitting? I know that TASR, there is a certain percentage. To my knowledge, it is low, but that was negotiated before us in last fall before the elections. With this new access road and Tlicho Bridge that's coming, I want to be prepared for that. Is there any set agreement on numbers? That's what I'm after, Madam Chair. Masi.
