Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is addressed to the Minister of Public Works and Services in regard to the concerns I raised in this House earlier about NorthwesTel and the complaints I have received. The concerns I have raised and we have heard in this House, are symptomatic of concerns across the north. I recognize the issue of telecommunications is very complicated with rates, zones, large centres and small centres, but there is a concern that NorthwesTel as a monopoly is complacent and tend to take things for granted. I do not think that the digital communications network is going to resolve all of the problems or existing concerns. My question to the Minister is, would he be prepared to write to the president and pass on the fact that there are concerns raised in this House and that he thinks the president should devote some personal attention to these issues? Thank you.
