Thank you. With regard to that particular matter, television and radio services is responsible for the installation and maintenance of television and radio receiving rebroadcast facilities in 28 communities throughout the Northwest Territories providing CBC television and radio plus regional aboriginal radio to those communities not served directly by CBC. I will be prepared to provide the specific communities in which we are providing these resources as soon as we can make them available.

Based on that statement, I assume that communities have to apply under some kind of criteria or policy.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This funding is generally required in 1994-95, 1995-96 because the whole broadcast system will be changing from analog to digital. That will necessitate the installations of new decoders and ancillary equipment in all sites. That is generally what is occurring right now.

The next item is video equipment for Yellowknife. My question is, for whom is the $65,000 allocated, and for what?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In 1994-95, it is for the replacement of one BVW 400 camera with digital equivalent. That is what is required.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With regard to the video equipment, the Standing Committee on Finance has asked the department to provide a justification for in-house versus contracting out video production. I was just wondering whether the Minister can advise us as to when the department is going to be prepared to make this presentation?

Thank you. I would hope that we would have it prepared for the Standing Committee on Finance review, when we get to our department under the operations and maintenance budget.

Mr. Chairman, regarding the line, "busses, vans and new replacements," the Minister has stated, in no uncertain terms, that he would like to get out of the purchasing of busses. Why is there a line here for busses and vans?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there is still generally an obligation on our part, until we can get out of the business. I agree that is what I have said, and in my view, we will get out of the business. But there are residences in these communities that need support. Rae Edzo is one community, where you have high school programming in one portion of the community -- in Edzo -- while the elementary school is in the community of Rae. We have a situation where students travel back and forth. That is the situation right now in that community. That has been an ongoing thing. We also have a student residence, and we transport students to events other than just school programming.

Mr. Chairman, at what point does the Minister envisage that these will be run by independent operators?
