Thank you, Madam Chair. I don't have it right now in the capital plan that's being proposed in front of us today. This is a capital plan that was put together on information that had been already developed and analyzed long before the issues came back again. Certainly, in the last round, in June, and the questions around where we were at on our cell service. Honestly, I can't say right now, Madam Chair, I just know that it's not in this capital plan. It may well find its way into the capital plan because, again, I don't have the numbers in front of me. Maybe I'll see if the deputy Minister has recollection of what they are. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The cell phone infrastructure is largely owned by Northwestel or Bell Canada. That is likely why it's not in the capital plan, as the Minister has said. We have done some estimates to expand that service, mainly on the highway from Yellowknife to Behchoko. You will certainly get those estimates to committee pretty soon. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I have the numbers. I remember receiving that email soon after our last conversation about it from the Minister, and I appreciate that. She's consistently prompt, which is appreciated. My question, though, is not how much it's going to cost, it's where is it? That's what I'm looking for is: what is the long-term plan for that one? I don't pretend that putting together a capital plan is an easy venture by any means and that it can be very difficult to decide what a priority is. Both broadband Internet and cell service, in my opinion, are huge safety features, and safety should always be first and foremost, I think, in a capital plan. That's all I have to say, just a comment. Thank you.
