Return to Written Question 5-19(2): Tlicho All-Season Road Project Contracts

Speaker: Mr. Mercer

Mr. Speaker, I have a Return to Written Question asked by the Member for Monfwi on February 28, 2020, regarding the Tlicho All-Season Road project contracts.

The Member asked for a breakdown or details of all the contractors and sub-contractors involved in the Tlicho All-Season Road construction, including addresses for these contracts and the length of the contracts. The Member also asked for details of the operations and maintenance contracts after the construction is completed in 2022.

Mr. Speaker, in response to the Member's first question, later today, at the appropriate time, I will table the list of the businesses currently involved in the Tlicho All-Season Road Project. I am unable to provide addresses and the length of the contracts, as this type of information is related to contracts between parties and is ultimately confidential.

Regarding the Member's second question, I can advise that North Star Infrastructure will operate and maintain the road for 25 years after the construction is completed. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
