Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Similar to Mr. Miltenberger, I had also written a letter to NorthwesTel concerning some complaints I had received. I received a letter indicating that basically there is nothing wrong. Mr. Speaker, there have been many occasions, and too many of those occasions for my wife, that when I have had to phone home from a community and when we were talking we could hear echoes and sounds like the ocean is in the background. One time she thought I was calling from Hawaii.

Also, Mr. Speaker, there are a lot of times when you phone information and you have to wait and wait and wait and wait, or you could phone the operator and you have to wait for an awful long time. These things, I think, are unacceptable when we are moving towards that area, a time, when we are going to open up this territory for competition. There are also other times when you are in the middle of a telephone conversation and you get disconnected. We should not have to deal with those types of things, Mr. Speaker. When we put in letters of complaint, we will expect that the company moves to try and rectify these problems. Thank you.
