Another section, division, whatnot, responsibility under the program delivery support is information services division. There’s been a lot of talk about e-health and EMRs, DI/PACS and all the great programs that are out there, all the great technology that’s out there to help us provide health services in a more streamlined manner. I understand that bandwidth has been a significant issue in getting these fantastic technologies into our small communities. These things, in my opinion, could help us reduce potential medical travel if we have ability for physicians to use this technology to help treat in the communities. What is this department doing with respect to lobbying or encouraging Public Works and Services to help create bandwidth or expand bandwidth throughout the Territories, for communities in particular, as it relates to these types of technologies?
