Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's concerns, and I think his concerns, relate to the local service provider. I believe it was a similar situation in Fort Smith. I am telling my honourable colleague in all sincerity, there are no other areas of problems right now, with respect to the ones he has in Inuvik. We are trying to make a concerted effort. We have not done as well as we should have in that community, make a concerted effort in that community and resolve the problems he alluded to earlier in his statement. I want to assure him, by April 1, 1999, one way or another, a territorial-wide digital communications system will be in place. As I have explained on a number of occasions, it is not going to be without its problems. Hopefully, we will be able to resolve as many of them as we can. I will be only too happy to provide my honourable colleague with a complete update as to the status of the digital communication system as it relates to all the communities in the Arctic. Thank you.
