Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With regard to systems and communications, there appears to be quite a significant cut from previous years. Can the Minister explain what this cut was from?

The funding is required to continue the expansion of the mainframe computer system. Anybody can read that. There are significant amounts being requested in other departments. Taking into account that there is practically $290,000 cut back on this, how would this need have an impact on the ability of the department to communicate? What has been cut from this particular activity? I'm just wondering whether the funds have been moved to another activity. I would like the department and the Minister to attempt to explain that.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I don't believe it has been moved to any other activity. The capital that we are requesting will be used to purchase and install data communication equipment that is required to expand the network to meet GNWT requirements, as well as equipment that the system computer service technicians need to install the equipment and support the network operations.
Also, the $150,000 portion is for disk drives to be added to increase capacity. Tape drives would be replaced, and memory increased, to enhance processing capabilities. The central processor will be upgraded to meet the increasing user demands.
