Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I look forward to joining the Minister on that information highway. Hopefully, passing him by. The idea of having technology in a community library, I guess, is a good goal. However, this government is only now just starting to develop the process of developing the electronic backbone of a system which will allow communities to access electronic information systems. In the meantime, people will still need a human link between the community residents and the information they need. In the Baffin and Keewatin, the community librarian plays that important role. Can the Minister indicate whether his department considered retaining the regional librarian positions until our technology systems are tried and tested and actually up and running? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
