Thank you Mr. Chairman. I have a number of questions on this particular activity. I would like to start with the Digital Communications Network.
Mr. Chairman, from the very start, I had some significant concerns dating back to the 13th Assembly with the Digital Communications Network that it would not be able to handle the load, that it was already undersized by the time that it was finished. The feedback I had heard was that in fact what we were doing in a lot of cases was just helping NorthwesTel upgrade a lot of their old equipment and infrastructure, and then paying a significant premium, as the Minister indicated.
One of the things the Minister indicated is in terms of bandwidth and capacity, that some of the systems we have make it too much to carry. Can the Minister indicate, are the DECs on Peoplesoft? If they are not on Peoplesoft, does that have anything to do with the capability of the system to handle the amount of bandwidth requirements for this program? Thank you.
