Thank you, Madam Chair. The one issue I think I would like to comment on, and further to what Mr. Roland said, the network capacity issue is a major one. People rely on that for their e-mail and for file transfers and all kinds of things in terms of government business, and once we get into the whole game of media streaming, which is really what this is, we do have to be careful that we don't saturate that network. We have had a couple of other requests from other departments for this similar kind of thing where there is media streaming. Whether it's audio or video is a little more network intensive, but they both take up network capacity. In the other cases, we have tried to take it very slowly and do a full analysis of what the impact might be to basically ensure that bringing anything online in way of video or audio would not bring the network to a screeching halt because it just becomes saturated. So in this case, that was a concern on the technical side. I think added to the concerns that Mr. Roland has made, it is something that really needs to be sort of taken one step at a time, and we can't just sort of throw the doors open and do this with our existing network capacity. Thank you, Madam Chair.
