Mr. Speaker. I think the numbers are not $60 to $70 million. I do recall the Minister of Finance announcing a $13 million initiative to start up the digital communication network earlier. One of the ways that we need to look at these types of issues is in a global scale, on the broad level. The digital communication network, in our opinion, is something that will greatly improve the communication systems that we have. It will save money in many areas, including education and health, in different conferences, et cetera, which would free up money that would have otherwise been spent in those areas that we could use for social programs.
