Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is a subsidy paid to those communities for higher freight costs, they are not serviced by barge, or road.

There are a lot more communities than this that are not serviced either. Why these communities?

Yes, by road or by barge? Okay, well, there a lot more communities that are not serviced by either. Barge and road he said, did he say air, too?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Maybe I did not answer the question right. Just for clarification, supply services gives the subsidy for transportation to Pelly Bay, Snare Lake, Colville Lake, and Fort Franklin, because those communities are only serviced by air. Every other community in the territories either has barge service once a year, or road service in the winter, or year round.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question is about computers. I know that over the last few years we were doing several things with computers. We were trying to standardize them and organize things so that we had compatibility with different models that were being bought by the government. Also, for a period of time, we bought a lot of computers because it just seemed like a good idea. They were not manufactured in Hay River, but they were components that were stuck together in Hay River and we purchased them. So, I would like to ask the Minister, have those worked out well? Are we still buying them? Are they still operating? Are they still on our list of suppliers? Those computers were put together with components, they were purchased elsewhere and assembled in Hay River, to make a manufacturing plant. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and I want to know what the experience has been?

Thank you, Mr. Lewis. We were dealing with supply services and had concluded the matter on computers, but you would allow me to conclude total O and M for supply and then we can return back to computer services to answer your question. Mr. Lewis.

I will not challenge you, Mr. Chairman, but I assumed that this item dealt with procurement of any item.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That business in Hay River is out of business now. We did buy from them. He had problems buying those components. He could not get the supplies to continue, so he went down. There are still some of those computers, and they are functioning quite well.
