Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Premier. It’s in light of my statement that we as government have to take the responsibility to ensure that we improve telecommunication services in the Northwest Territories, regardless of cell phone service throughout the Northwest Territories or uplink systems from high speed Internet and whatnot. I think it’s just as important to have that infrastructure in place, like our highway systems, regardless if it’s a pipeline. Any system that can improve the services in the Northwest Territories has to be considered.
I’d like to ask the Premier, in light of what happened in the Yukon where they made a political decision to ensure that they had cell phone services throughout the Yukon in every community so that they have improvement in regard to telecommunications in the Yukon, will this government seriously look at the proposal that was put forth, the success of the Yukon model, and implement it in the Northwest Territories?
