Mr. Chairman, when you look at just the Baffin region, for example, those six communities are co-ordinated out of Iqaluit anywhere between 1,500 flying miles from the community. On the one hand, the Minister's department is saying the people of the Northwest Territories do not have adequate skills to participate in the technological revolution, and on the other hand, it wants to equip communities with computers to increase access to libraries and information. Who is going to do that training in the communities? Who is going to equip the library so they can download equipment if training is not there? That is something the regional librarian was going to do.
