Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are a couple of elements with the operation of DCN. The department works directly at the technical level with the technical staff in a number of other departments with Financial Management Board Secretariat in the lead to identify and address issues.
During the course of the contract, there have been a range of different kinds of issues that came up, and that is not unusual. With respect to the speed and the bandwidth issues, our staff have been working with the Financial Management Board Secretariat and have identified issues as they occur.
We think some of the issues are of our own making. We are addressing those issues as they develop. We have had some success in that area. We have also found that on occasion, we initially felt that some of the issues were related to the DCN. In fact, some changes in our own protocols actually made a difference. We will this year be working very closely with staff and schools and with the DECs to monitor this matter.
Certainly, if we experience issues with speed or bandwidth, we will be taking them up through the technical committees with the contractor. Thank you.
