Mr. Chairman, I am not a computer expert either, and that's why I have to rely on the department's information that was given me. That was the advice that this was the best way to go. Maybe there is room in the department to work closer with the computer companies in Yellowknife or wherever to get a better opportunity for them to improve their businesses, and I don't argue that point. I think the department should make that effort if it's possible for them to do it. But on the other hand, I have not heard any evidence that they did not make the effort and it was not possible for the private sector to respond as to what we were asking for. So I have no problem supporting the department's decision. Thank you.
