Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, I do not know. I am not a technical expert on communications. I do not know whether the Ardicom group has outdated technology. I certainly hope not. I do not know if compare the technology of the Internet service providers whether theirs is superior to what is being proposed by Ardicom. What I do know is that we want to put the Northwest Territories on the cutting edge of the communications highway. That is what we intended to do. Certainly, it was my intention in the early stages that we would try to find some way to accommodate these Internet service providers as my honourable colleague has said from Yellowknife all the way to Rankin Inlet, Inuvik, Iqaluit and Cambridge Bay. I thought quite frankly that there was to be a meeting held between my department which is

responsible for this communications and the local suppliers in the communities. My notes indicate that has not happened. I apologize to my colleagues for that. I just got word of it right now. I will assure them that when this House is finished today, it will happen as quickly as possible and we will try through whatever efforts we can to protect and integrate the interests of the community-based internet service providers along with the visionary communications highway that we hope will unfold as we move into the 21st century. Thank you.
