Well, my information is that perhaps the communication has not been done at an optimum level because the people that I was talking to, who ought to be in the know, were not aware of this offer or what to do about filling this offer. I wonder if the Minister and the officials could be the link and make sure this communication between the board of the ACTC, the board of the corporation and the retailers that are concerned...if the department could function as a facilitator, making sure this communication gets from one side to the other. I also have a question. I want to know how this policy came about, where this corporation is allowed to engage in retail sales in a market like Yellowknife, targeting the government employees or departments. Does that not contravene any other government policies or government philosophy, or the principle about not using public funds to interfere in and disrupt the private market? Thank you.
