    With 19 per cent of redevelopment completed at the Martin Gallant Building it will now be reassessed to ensure the most efficient approach to delivering accessible government services.

    Government is cancelling construction contracts for the Martin Gallant Building in Stephenville Crossing, as well as the new K‑12 school in Cartwright. While both projects are in early stages of construction with 19 per cent completed at the Martin Gallant Building it will now be reassessed to ensure the most efficient approach to delivering accessible government services. Both projects have significant challenges, with work disruptions, growing risks of cost overruns and delays exceeding one year. Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Barry Petten says “While cancelling contracts is not a decision we take lightly, continuing as planned would expose the province to even greater financial risk.”
