Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It would appear that there has been a subsidy in some remote and rural areas for the past seven years. It would appear that a subsidy of approximately $2.5 million per year was ample to address that. Does the Minister know why NorthwesTel projects that with the introduction of long distance competition, they are going to require $30 million worth of subsidies? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
