Common use of Great Clause in Contracts

Great. Thank you. The second item is CIRNAC Contribution Agreement for Alt North to be completed. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇? ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇: That was completed. ▇▇▇▇▇: Action Item 3: YKDFN sharing the release of the TK brochure…▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, are there any updates there? ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇: In terms of the update on that brochure, I know it has been distributed within the Yellowknives Dene First Nations. What we do need to get back is information from Chief and Council in regard to making it public. That is the next step. I do have an upcoming session with them, so you will hear back from us after that. Give me approximately a week to get a response back on this action item. ▇▇▇▇▇: Great. Thank you. Action Item #4: Remediation Project Team to share socio-economic data with GMOB, as per the request by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Are there any updates there? ▇▇▇▇▇▇: Yes. This information consists of two parts. One is the labour resource information and the other are the categories and the dollar values. The labour resource information is currently with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. They are finalizing the data. We expect the draft to come in by the end of June, and the information itself to be available in the summer. For the second part, which are the dollar values and the categories, for this information we are going to have to wait until October for the Treasury Board approval before we can release any of this information. ▇▇▇▇▇: Thanks, ▇▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇: I just wanted to add something. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, we actually did get approval from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to distribute the brochure. I’m not sure if you were off at the time or it was just an email, but he did get approval from somebody. He let us know we could distribute it, so we have actually passed it on to site. I was just thinking, if you would like us to get them to hold off on handing that out, we can ask them to do that, or are you okay if they continue to hand it out? ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇: If you got the approval from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has done that work. The problem that we have internally right now is ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ got into an accident, so he is on medical leave. There was not any instruction to me regarding that brochure, so if you already did get that release direction from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, then it should be okay. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has done his work to ensure that it was reviewed and commented on, and probably out for distribution. You can go ahead with making that public. My apologies for that. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇: That’s okay. Thanks a lot because we definitely like the brochure and are happy to hand it out. Thank you.

Great. Thank you. Continuing on, the next item requested was the Perpetual Care Plan Update. I just wanted to acknowledge Alternatives North and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s comments. Thank you very much. It is lovely to hear that you like the accomplishment of the Perpetual Care Plan Advisory Team, because we echo those as well. We think we have done some great work. We do acknowledge that we did not meet the deadline in the Environmental Agreement. However, as I have said before, I think we should rather get it right than meet an artificial deadline. That said, COVID did provide a lot of challenges for the PCP Advisory Task Force, such as challenges to meet only online, especially with the Yellowknives and some of our other rights and stakeholders. It made it more difficult. I can report, though, the scope of work or Statement of Work is with PSPC, Public Services Procurement Canada. I do not know if we have an exact date when it is going to hit the streets, but it is soon. That is the RFP to get a contractor onboard to right version one. ▇▇▇▇▇ has something to add. ▇▇▇▇▇: Just almost right. The second item Statement of Work has been completed based on all the work from the Task Force, so thank you everyone for that. We have put together a Statement of Work, and that will be a component of the larger RFP and in conversations with PSPC. Because it is CIRNAC Contribution Agreement a project that is complicated and has so many different facets of the Project, the recommendation from PSPC is that they send out a request for Alt North information. This is…actually, ▇▇▇▇, you could probably tell us better. This is things like a reasonable amount of time for the contract to actually be completedset. Is it a period of 10 years or 1 year? Likely, 1 year is not enough. Is it 3 years? So, some sort of feedback on that before we make final decisions; things like what kind of information you might need in the RFP package that we were not thinking of including, and things like that. The Scope of Work is done, and we are just in the conversations. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is back from her international travels. Actually, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, you can tell us all about that too. Our thinking is that perhaps we can send out the Statement of Work now. The other option is to wait until we have that feedback from the request of information and then come together and do a walkthrough of that Statement of Work with the whole Task Force. We are just batting around those ideas. We have lit the fire under the butts of PSPC, and we said let’s aim to get that RFP out in July. That means there will be a workshop prior to that at some point. I am poking those guys, but a lot of really good work has been done, and so a couple of days of meetings with the Task Force was really valuable. We have a really solid scope of work. ▇▇▇▇▇: Great. Thank you. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇? ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇: That was completedThe next item is the Hoèła weteèts’eèdè Study. ▇▇▇▇▇: Action Item 3: YKDFN sharing the release of the TK brochure…I don’t think ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ provided an update, but obviously it is an independent study by ▇, are there any updates there? ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇: In terms of the update on that brochure, I know it has been distributed within the Yellowknives Dene First Nations. What we do need to get back is information from Chief and Council in regard to making it public. That is the next step. I do have an upcoming session with them, so you will hear back from us after that. Give me approximately a week to get a response back on this action item. ▇▇▇▇▇: Great. Thank you. Action Item #4: Remediation Project Team to share socio-economic data with GMOB, as per the request by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ University in partnership with the YKDFN. Are there any updates there? The YKDFN have asked us to pause for data collection. I know ▇▇▇▇▇▇: Yes. This information consists of two parts. One is the labour resource information and the other are the categories and the dollar values. The labour resource information is currently with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. They are finalizing the data. We expect the draft to come in by the end of June, and the information itself to be available in the summer. For the second part, which are the dollar values and the categories, for this information we are going to have to wait until October for the Treasury Board approval before we can release any of this information. ▇▇▇▇▇: Thanks, ▇▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇: I just wanted to add something. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, you expressed some lack of information, so we actually did will get approval from ▇▇that information out to the Task Force or ask ▇▇▇▇▇ to distribute the brochure. I’m not sure if you were off at the time or it was just an email, but he did get approval from somebody. He let us know we could distribute it, so we have actually passed it on to site. I was just thinking, if you would like us to get them to hold off on handing that out, we can ask them to do that, or are you okay if they continue to hand it out? ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇: If you got the approval from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, then the lead, to get some of that information out. We are just waiting to hear back from the Yellowknives if we can proceed and when we can proceed. We were ready to launch the study last week. We are hoping to go. We want to get it done. YK HEMP: Obviously, we are in a slow year. We will start data collection, as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has done that workmentioned, of the children. The problem that We will start next spring, so we are just sort of getting organized. We were really hoping the Hoèła weteèts’eèdè Study would be done, and then the YK HEMP would ramp up, because we have internally right now the YKDFN Wellness Team on it. We don’t want to overburden them, so we hope the timings will work out on that. Then the last item on the list here was the Apology and Compensation. Again, I will just remind everyone it is outside the scope of the Giant Mine Remediation Project. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ got into was invited. He could not make it today, but he did provide me with an accidentupdate. I don’t know if anyone listened to the last Federal Budget when $2.2 million dollars was announced to support the Yellowknives Dene in their involvement in the Apology and Compensation. They are preparing their legal brief and their documentation with that. It was $2.2 million over years, so he is on medical leave. There was not any instruction to me regarding that brochurethey got $1.1 million this year, so if you already did get that release direction from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and then it should be okay. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has done his work to ensure that I believe it was reviewed and commented on, and probably out $1.1 million for distribution. You can go ahead with making that public. My apologies the next year to support their work for that. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇: That’s okaySo, that is ongoing. Thanks a lot because we definitely like the brochure and are happy I think that is all I had from this list unless anyone had anything else to hand it out. Thank youadd.
