Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, can the Minister of Infrastructure tell me how many contracts MTS bid on in the last three years, including the number of successful bids and whether these contracts resulted in profit or losses. And I would accept that response in writing. Thank you.
Thank you, Member. Minister of Infrastructure.
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, MTS has not bid on any contracts independently in the last three years. Given the nature of the work, customers come to MTS and services are negotiated. The revenue from these customers and the commercial activities assist us in offsetting costs for some of the special resupply. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Thank you, Madam Speaker. And I guess when I'm talking about bidding is that I know that companies will come and they'll look for prices from different companies and, you know, the fuel resupply might be one of them. So I think that, you know, they did they have bid on it even though they don't know it.
Madam Speaker, can the Minister confirm the net cost of having to resupply Sachs Harbour by air? Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, the net cost is still being compiled. These costs may fluctuate based on weather and resupply times. To date, two competitive tenders have been awarded for airlift one for cargo and one for fuel, with the approximate value of about $3 million. Upon completion of the resupply, I will provide Member and committee with the final costs. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Thank you, Minister. And since we are out of time, I'm going to just take this opportunity, Members, that I wish to draw your attention to the presence of a former Member in the gallery, Mr. Bill Braden. Mr. Braden was an MLA in the 14th and 15th Assembly.
Your second supplementary. Member for Hay River South.
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, we cannot allow MTS to continue down the same management path. Can the Minister tell me where is the department in the process with the MTS core construction review? Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, in April of 2022, the GNWT issued a nonbinding request for expression of interest for the marine operator services. We received expression of interest from several private operators. During that same period, Madam Speaker, the department established a transition team to engage with the stakeholders, conduct outreach with the marine industry, coordinate procurement and contract negotiation processes.
So since April 2022, the transition team has been reviewing the financial situation developing a commercial strategy for the procurement. The team has also been working on a proforma contract for the procurement. So engagement has also been held with the GNWT staff members at marine transportation services, as well as early engagement with the Town of Hay River. So operators who expressed interest have been advised of the status of the procurement. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Thank you, Minister. Final supplementary. Member for Hay River South.
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, the Minister had said they will do an assessment of this last season and the work there and what went wrong, and hopefully a few things went right. So that'll be in there as well. So I'd ask the Minister just to commit to providing a copy of that postmortem assessment to me and committee. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I can go back to the department and get back to the Member on what we can share. Thank you.
