Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for Telecommunications. Earlier today I made a statement concerning the CRTC hearings in regard to opening the NWT for competition in the area of long distance phone calls. Yesterday, the Minister had indicated that the GNWT supported the establishment of a national fund to subsidize high-cost service areas. I wonder if the Minister could indicate why the GNWT supports the establishment of this national fund?
