Question 214-18(2): Highway No. 7 Resurfacing Contract
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have some follow-up questions about the process. In my Member’s statement I explained the process of how I understand negotiated contracts. I was also informed each request to negotiate is carefully considered by department and Minister and results in a decision to proceed with seeking Cabinet approval to negotiate or, in some of the instances, decision to proceed with tendering. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, can the Minister tell the House if Cabinet or the department decided not to go to a negotiated contract for the contract in Highway No. 7? Thank you, Mr...

Question 204-18(2): Highway No. 7 Resurfacing Contract
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

I guess his information’s a little bit different than mine, and I’m trying to understand where this information come from because when I was in the community this past weekend on Friday, there was no confirmation that this is happening, so can the Minister please provide rationale or reasons how this information came available?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

I find that the band that was actually in Fort Simpson was actually doing a strategic plan, and that was one of their concerns, that it was taken away for whatever rationale. I don’t know when it happened. It’s just that we used to provide… They had a contract providing homecare for the elders and that, and the department took it over. The workers are good. Don’t get me wrong. It’s just that the band was trying to figure out what it was. I’m hoping that the consultant can discuss that with the band and see how it can be addressed.. I’m hoping the Minister can get the consultant to go see the...

I thank the Minister for that answer. I think I understand it now. We pay it and then we come back later on to keep on topping it up. Is that correct?

Question 204-18(2): Highway No. 7 Resurfacing Contract
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as you heard in my Member’s statement, I have some questions for the Minister of Transportation regarding the construction resurfacing on Highway No. 7. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister please tell this House who the successful contractor was for this project? Thank you. Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

I would like to seek unanimous consent to conclude my statement.

---Unanimous consent granted

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The numbers that the Minister talked about just seem to be a little high compared to the numbers I see on this page, which are $24,403,000 and the Main Estimates were $23,083,000. The Minister just quoted a couple, about $4 million increases. Or 2.3, sorry. What I’m trying to figure out is where the discrepancy is. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
