I take it that the Minister is really speaking of areas such as the isolated communities where it does not pay for the telephone company to operate as to the larger communities like Yellowknife. Could the Minister tell us, what specifically are they asking the CRTC for a subsidy for, is it for a telephone company to operate in isolated areas or is it for individuals to obtain reduced rates?
