Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is for the Minister responsible for Finance, regarding the Digital Communication Network. We have had various departments in the House tell us, Education for one, that the DCN is not allowing them to provide distance learning as they had originally thought it would. Mrs. Groenewegen alluded to the fact that Telehealth is not yet functional. Four years ago, I believe this government thought that by getting into this arrangement with ArdiCom, we would be able to achieve some of these things.

Certainly the system is under-performing. I do not know if it was ill conceived or if things have changed since four years ago. I am concerned about this. I think this government has to make distance learning and Telehealth a priority. With our small population, we simply cannot afford to have all the infrastructure everywhere. These are very critical issues. I am wondering if the undertaker responsible for Finance can tell us how he proposes to fix the problem. Thank you.
