Mr. Chairman, with regard to this one what are we talking about to provide funding for improvement to the Hay River telephone system related to decentralization initiatives? I thought the government was not into this business. We have communities that do not have those kinds of services.

In this particular case, it is to improve the communications link out of Hay River as far as voice and
data transfer is concerned. It will upgrade the communication system. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

So this is a one time allocation. You cannot restrict decentralization only to Hay River. You have decentralization to Inuvik, Iqaluit and Fort Simpson. Is this one time thing going to be showing up again in some other allocation or appropriation?
