Thanks to the Minister for that. We obviously share the same desire to get these particular systems up and running, but as the Minister you have a unique seat at a table in this government where you can really put pressure on your colleagues, the Ministers, to put some greater attention to expanding bandwidth up the valley into our communities so that we can really utilize these technologies that exist. There are so many advantages here to help us reduce medical travel costs, to increase services to the communities, to overall, you know, I mean, if we’re talking Foundation for Change -- and there has been a lot of Foundation for Change -- I think this is something that should fit as a critical aspect to Foundation for Change for helping to improve services in the communities. So as the Minister sitting at that unique table with six of your ministerial colleagues, what are you doing, what can you do to create a greater awareness in your ministerial colleagues so that we can get some movement on this and get some extended or increased bandwidth? Which isn’t just good for Health and Social Services, it’s good for education, it’s good for anybody providing services in the community, but there’s definite benefit for health. What are you doing? What are you doing to make sure that bandwidth is a priority?
