Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I realize that it is 8:00 pm and maybe we're not communicating as well as we should. I will make it very clear that there is a need for the $210,000. The Member asked why there was a reduction. There was probably no need for any money over $210,000, but there is a need for the $210,000. I read the scope of the work into the record, twice now, but I will do it one more time. I will do it very slowly and in a louder voice, then perhaps I will be able to communicate a little better.
The capital funding for the $60,000 will be used to purchase and install the data communications equipment that is required to expand the network to meet GNWT requirements. As well, the equipment the system and the computer service technicians need to install the equipment and support the network operations. That is what will be accomplished with the $60,000. That is what their need of $60,000 is.
The need for the $150,000 is, the scope of the work are disk drives being added to increase 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. That is what the $150,000 is needed for. I am requesting that money. I would not have been requesting it if we did not need it.
As well, Mr. Chairman, for 1993-94, I had said that there was no need for money over the $210,000 figure because of decentralization. The request, through decentralization, was reduced one time only. Thank you.
