Mr. Speaker, it's been some 20 years that we've been dealing with the same bank. Obviously, a lot of issues have changed with regard to banking technology, methods of banking and now we're looking at, in the future, some different kinds of technologies with which people across Canada will bank. We will be taking into consideration the technology, the value for the dollars expended, the kinds of services offered by a financial institution, not only to the Government of the Northwest Territories but to other places in the Northwest Territories. As I said when we first put the proposal call out, some weight will be given to looking at the problem of provision of financial services to the areas in the Northwest Territories that are not provided with financial service by the banks, at the present time. As I've said in interviews, Mr. Speaker, it may not be the kind of banking that we're looking at now, where there are tellers, a building and a counter, where you go in and deal across the counter. We've asked the banks to look down the road to the next set of technology. We're at money machines right now but there may be other things out there that will enable people to bank in the Northwest Territories and have access to those financial aids that financial institutions provide.

Those are some of the criteria that we'll be looking at, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
