Statements in Debates
Mr. Ramsay.
Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. To the motion. Mr. Braden.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I've got three seconds here. I'm still telling you it's going to take less time, it's going to take no more time to go to tender for a private developer to lease you the space. You don't have to worry about the capital dollars; it's just O and M. You can just lease the space. It's going to take you no more time to put out that tender than it is for the tender for all of the upgrades, and that's the point I'd like to make, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister this final question then. If his department has given any consideration to hosting some type of venue where businesses that are interested in starting up or expanding what they are already doing, finding out where they can get support services for their company, additional capital, things like that, has the Minister’s department considered hosting or facilitating any such a gathering here in the North, given the timing and the imminent development that lies ahead? Thank you.
Thank you, Minister Roland. General comments. Mr. Ramsay.
