Thank you, Mr. Chairman. A total of $60,000 is needed. The scope of work, for the $60,000, is capital funding to purchase and install the data communication equipment that is required to expand the network to meet GNWT requirements, as well as equipment that the system and computer service technicians need to install the equipment and support the network operations.
The $150,000 is needed to buy disk drives which will be added to increase the capacity. Tape drives will be replaced, and memory increased, to enhance processing capabilities. The central processor will be upgraded to meet the increase in user demands.
