A supplementary, Mr. Speaker. I am strongly suggesting to the Minister that he does meet with NorthwesTel because the schedule that I have from NorthwesTel does not indicate that. One of the reasons that NorthwesTel is not moving to provide additional phone service to communities in the Western Arctic is that there is heavy subsidization by NorthwesTel to the small communities. I am suggesting to the Minister, or asking him, if he would be willing to meet with them to try to get NorthwesTel to accelerate their plans in providing extra phones to the smaller communities in the Western Arctic.
