Mr. Speaker, as we all know, there is a pretty vibrant business community out there. We have NorthwesTel that's involved in the Internet system; we have different aboriginal corporations now looking at it. I think the systems that we have in place, that we're not the only game in town. We have to realize that there are other industries out there that are also competing for the similar market. I think for ourselves to take the notion that we're the ones at fault here, I don't think it's justified but, again, Mr. Speaker, if the Member would like, I can give him a breakdown on those expenditures that are out there today. We cannot take the full responsibility of what's happening with regard to this business by way of the private sector. Again, it's a competitive business and we are providing a service for this government and on behalf of the people in the Northwest Territories to ensure that we are efficient in what we do but, more importantly, that we're responsible for the costs of doing this business. Thank you.
