Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a question here entitled "Government of the Northwest Territories Sole Source Contracting under Procurement Criteria 1.8.2(a)."
Government contract regulations require all contracts be issued through a competitive process, unless they meet the regulatory requirements for sole source contracting. The Government of the Northwest Territories can enter into sole source contracts based on narrow criteria. One of these criteria states that performance of the contract is urgently required and delay would be injurious to the public interest. My questions are:
By GNWT Department, what portion by amount and by rate of contracting is awarded under each of the procurement categories, including sole sources by each of the three criteria under 1.8.2;
What is the average length of time of contracts awarded under sole source criteria 1.8.2(a);
What is the rate of sole source contracts awarded under criteria 1.8.2(a) that undergo change orders; and
What is the average rate of increase of change orders awarded under criteria 1.8.2(a)?
Can I keep going, Mr. Speaker, or would you like me to sit down?
Maybe I'll just read it again just so people know it's a different set of questions. Written questions. Member for Kam Lake.
