Thank you, Madam Chair. Within the Marine Transportation Services, we are trying to maximize local and northern employment within the department. We do have 10 indeterminate GNWT employees who reside in the South Slave. Through MTS recruitment, the first priority for employment resides with resident locals, residents of the NWT, and third, non-residents. We do have a number of local employments. As the Member is aware, the majority of our transportation headquarters is in Hay River. I do want to note that about 90 percent of our shipyard staff hired were Northwest Territories residents last year. In terms of the contract, I'm going to ask ADM Brennan to speak a little bit more about where we're at with our contract. I just recently understood we had it tendered and closed, but I would just like more detail from the ADM. Thank you.
