Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think the information that was provided by the Minister is most interesting, although it's difficult to analyze it here on the floor of the House.

Mr. Chairman, I just want to ask one further question. I note the Minister's commitment that he is still wishing to carry out the intent of this motion. I guess my question would be then, since I understand this equipment budget, these monies that we're voting on now, is to purchase new video equipment, and since the Minister is saying we'd like to find a way to involve the private sector and to carry out the intent of the motion, could the department not get by for another period of time with the present equipment and not make a sizeable capital investment in new equipment. Thank you.
