Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Government Services. I know we have covered this area before but I just have to ask again. Several of the communities in the Deh Cho region and my constituency in Nahendeh, Jean Marie River, Trout Lake and Nahanni Butte, have very limited telephone service. They each have one community telephone and that is it. This seems to be the only region left in the Northwest Territories which does not have regular service. The residents of these communities have asked me for help and support in trying to do something about it. I know there is a plan with NorthwesTel to have telephone services improved, but it is in 1995 and 1996 and that is a long time to wait to get improved services. Could the Minister tell me if there is anything his department is doing presently to try to help provide necessary telephone services into these communities? Thank you.
