Let me see, Mr. Speaker. No, I do not think it is a criticism, although I know a number of Members, and certainly a number of my constituents are certainly concerned about the quality of service that Northwestel provides across the framework. It would be fair to say, that, talking on a personal level, I am concerned about the costs they charge on my bill. However, it certainly was not an intention to avoid, I just thought it was important to...you know Frank Boren used to say in the bureaucrat's handbook, when in doubt, mumble. I thought it was just important to illustrate to this House, and the community at large, that these two large locally-owned organizations were part of the partnership with this telephone company called Northwestel. Thank you.
