Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is true, last week the Premier did announce that the government will be privatizing the computer services function of the Government of the Northwest Territories, partly in response to

industry's request and the fact that they have been saying they can do it better and cheaper.

At this time, the different government departments are looking at what needs they have in the area of computer services, what they do now. Coming out of that will be implementation plans, and during that time there will be information gathering from different areas of the community, including industry. They will be consulted.
