I better clarify. I think when I presented to the House in previous sessions I gave a detailed listing of the communities and when it was expected that some of the digital communication system would be up and running. Now, this is a creative, visionary approach that we want to take and it is not going to be without. As they say, it has glitches and it has warts. As to whether it is on budget or not, I would have to check with my department. There has certainly been no request for any additional funds, thank goodness, because we are still trying to maintain a balanced budget, but as I said earlier, I am optimistic in the smaller communities and the other communities I have talked to, that we are going to meet the targets we set and that it will allow the Northwest Territories to enter into the 21st millennium as an active participant in the digital communications highway.
