Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to address the shortfalls in the government's communication strategy. Mr. Speaker, this government has spent millions in improving the communication strategy with this territory, including the use of satellite communication systems. Mr. Speaker, I had the opportunity to use some of this communication system such as the fax machine. I find it takes about a minute to fax a letter from the community of Tuktoyaktuk to Yellowknife. However, I faxed this letter to the Honourable Kelvin Ng, it was a Young Offenders Act issue. I faxed the letter on the 14th of November and on the 26th of November he still was not aware of having received a letter. He finally responded on December 5th. I faxed the letter on November 14th to the Honourable Charles Dent on education issues. He had not yet received the letter on November 27th, but he responded on December 5th. November 19th I faxed a letter to the regional superintendent of Transportation regarding driver's exams. I took the trouble of copying the Minister to speed up the response. It obviously was a mistake on my part because I never got a response until February 2nd. On January 27th, I hand delivered a letter to Mr. Ng's desk. I still have not received a response. On January 27th, we hand delivered a letter to Mr. Arlooktoo. We received a response today. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, obviously we have addressed the problem of getting the letter in one minute from Tuk to Yellowknife. The communication problem seems to be from the fax machine to the Minister's desk. Perhaps I will ask the Honourable Premier if he might be able to speed up this response so all Member's could benefit. Thank you.
