Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, one of the reasons for this change is a budgetary initiative, to save money. So, that sort of examination was undertaken. I think it would be safe to say that, whether or not we were eliminating the regional librarian positions, this government still has a commitment to move forward with the technological change we are embarking on because it provides better service to all of the people in smaller communities across the north. That really is one of the driving factors here.
