Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The GNWT's data communication network now currently connects over 3,000 terminal and PC users to the 12,000 HP 3000 mainframe computers in headquarters and regional data centres. Because of ongoing growth in the number of users and the number of computerized business systems, along with the ongoing initiatives such as decentralization, expansion will be required on some major network components. Within Yellowknife alone, there are close to 2,000 users who require computer access as part of their jobs. This number continues to grow. Capacity of some buildings has been exhausted. The same situation is occurring in the regions, and in the communities, because of recent implementations of computer systems such as the new social assistance system.
