I do not know the details of the implementation of this communications system, but philosophically I am in sync with my honourable colleague and I do recognise that this issue is broader based than Fort Smith. I will talk to my deputy minister, determine what the status of discussions are with respect to implementation, and try to reassure all members across the framework that ample provision will be made for the active participation of those in the communication business in the larger centres and towns like Fort Smith, Inuvik, Rankin Inlet and, of course, who could forget Iqaluit.
