Throughout the Northwest Territories we serve over 40,000 people, 33 communities. Not everyone has phones per se. As indicated in the past, where there are individuals that are working, they don’t even have phones sometimes, can’t afford it. It’s not only income support clientele. There is a variety of people who may have phones, but some don’t have phones for various reasons. Again, to reiterate, our program is for basic necessities: food, shelter and clothing. That’s what we’ve been providing over the years and we will continue to provide those services to the 33 communities that we service. Mahsi.
