Mahsi, Madam Chair. I see the 500K has been allocated to 2006-2007. Last year I guess it was 470,000. I'm just wondering, how did that work out? Like, $470,000, did that cover the whole year, or did the department require additional funding to establish these kinds of systems in the communities? Also, in the smaller communities, Wekweeti, for example, it's on a dial-up. But my understanding is there's a broadband connectivity that's going to be taking place in the 33 communities, or most of the communities anyways. Is the department working with the contractor, I'm not sure who they are, but I think it's SSI Micro or some contractor out there, connecting the broadband system into the communities? Is the department working with them as a part of their investment into the communities to provide this telehealth into the communities? Mahsi.
