That's all. Thank you.

Perfect. Are there any further questions from Members under the Municipal and Community Affairs, directorate? Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to talk about some of your contract services. Maybe can you maybe just explain to me, so I understand, how your contract services and procurement works? For example, in the flood in Jean Marie River, when that happened, it wasn't very long when I see in the Town of Hay River Arcan doing some work there. And I'm not really sure -- how does that work? Can you maybe help explain so I understand how the policy works on that. Thank you.

Thank you. Minister of MACA.

For that detail, I'll turn to the deputy minister. Thank you.

Thank you. Deputy minister.

Thank you. Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm just thinking, you know, now that we talk about Municipal and Community Affairs and directorate and operation and spending and that kind of thing, I know -- I know with the housing corporation they have a whole department that does construction management and that kind of thing and they've been, you know, letting out tenders and contractors and RFPs etcetera for years. So I guess my question is to MACA when this flood happened, do you guys have a project management division in your department? Thank you.

Thank you. Minister of MACA.

No, we do not.

Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Now that you don't have a project management department, so how is -- how does, for example, Jean Marie River they -- when the flood happened, I'm assuming that there's somebody that comes in there that does the assessment and then the next thing you know they -- then the requirements of project manager. How do you -- where do you go for your sole sourcing for your assessments or if you want to call them inspectors, and how is that project management tendered out, say in Jean Marie River they had the flood, so. Thank you.

Minister of MACA.

For that detail, I'll turn to the deputy minister.

Deputy minister.

Thank you. Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.

Thank you. Okay, I'm just trying to understand how the policy works and how your procurement works and that kind of thing. So I understand how the assessment is done. I know how the construction management is done. So it goes out to sole source contract and RFP, that kind of thing, or even as a standing offer agreement. When the standing offer agreement is done, how does that work? Thank you. Does that go out to RFP and contractors are selected and project managers are selected through this process? Can you explain that. Thank you.

Thank you. Minister of MACA.

Thank you. So we rely on advice from infrastructure, housing, and finance. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And so I'm just trying to understand how this whole thing works. Okay, so the other question I now have is that my constituency in Deninu Kue, Fort Resolution, we have, you know, local contractors that have their own equipment, you know, that have their own trucks, gravel trucks. And, you know, they just -- they're small contractors, you know, in the community. They've done a lot of work over the years building the roads in Fort Resolution and that kind of thing. So, you know, like, I'm not really sure if MACA has reached out to the guys in Fort Resolution or the contractors there to help build capacity and to help get involved in some of these projects that are ongoing, whether it be the flood in Jean Marie or Hay River. I just want to know what are you guys doing to reach out to the contractors in Fort Resolution. Thank you.

Thank you. Minister of MACA.
