Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I am going to speak in my language today. (Translation) Where I am from, there are three communities Jean Marie River, Nahanni Butte and Trout Lake, that do not have telephones. In each community, they only have one pay phone. If one wants to use it, sometimes the offices are locked up late at night, so it is difficult for people to use the phone. Now there are such things as faxes and telephones, and a person can communicate very easily, but not in those communities.
The reason I am saying this is because the NorthwesTel company over there, last year, raised a lot of money through the pay phones that are in these communities. As a government, we should get the government to assist them to get more phones for those communities. Mr. Zoe and Mr. Bernhardt have a similar situation in their ridings. I am really concerned about this, and this is why I wanted to raise it. Thank you.
