No more questions, Madam Chair. I will take that as a commitment. I believe that I will have questions on that after being provided the breakdown.

Thank you. Are there any further questions on Information Systems Shared Services? Member for Frame Lake.

Thanks, Madam Chair. The activity description includes the words CRTC a couple of times, or the acronym. What do we actually do with regard to the CRTC, Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Member for Frame Lake. Minister of Finance.

Thank you, Madam Chair. On this occasion, I have the benefit of Mr. Kalgutkar here, who does support some of that work, so I am going to have him answer that question.

Thank you, Minister. Deputy Minister Kalgutkar.

Thank you, Mr. Kalgutkar. Member for Frame Lake.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I sat on City Council, and City Council would spend money on this, too. What kinds of things are we actually advocating there, at the CRTC? We seem to pay the highest phone and internet rates in the world in the Northwest Territories, and I am just wondering what kind of things we actually are advocating for there. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Member for Frame Lake. Minister.

Madam Chair, thank you. I can certainly, on one hand, assure the Member that one of the things that we are doing is advocating to improve funding to the partners that would be delivering on last mile connectivity, and if I might just then see if there's anything further that the deputy minister wishes to add in addition to that?

Thank you, Minister. I would call on the deputy minister and ask him if he could speak up, please.

Thank you, Deputy Minister. Member for Frame Lake.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I am not going to go on for too much longer. I am just trying to figure out how effective our efforts have been. I pay $150 a month for internet access, which is totally ridiculous, and we haven't connected, as the Minister says, the last mile. We have the Mackenzie Valley fibre link that runs by a whole bunch of communities that don't have access to even medium-speed Internet, let alone high-speed Internet. What else are we doing to try to make sure that we actually allow our citizens to take full advantage of the Mackenzie Valley fibre link? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Member for Frame Lake. Minister.

Madam Chair, the question is to how successful the Department of Finance is, and the GNWT more generally, in improving telecommunications. To properly answer that is a much longer answer than what, I think, the committee is looking for in the review of the mains. It is one of the commitments in the mandate to improve telecommunications connectivity. It is one that we will, therefore, have to be reporting back to this House on in terms of developing a plan to show that we are going to improve our connectivity. That will involve looking at a baseline of where we are now in order to measure where we get to in the future. I know there is work under way. The Department of Finance is already engaged on this issue, and I am hopeful that we will see progress so that we can come back and say that we have shown a measure of success. It's just a much longer and more complicated answer than what I can provide, other than to say that, in terms of the main estimates, we are moving forward, and we are prepared to start taking that action with the budget that is in front of the Members here today. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Member for Frame Lake.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Can the Minister give us a clear commitment that she will bring that plan to the appropriate standing committee? It's something that I have been asking for about four years now. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Member for Frame Lake. Minister of Finance.

We can make that commitment, Madam Chair. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister. Are there any further questions on Information Systems Shared Services? Seeing no further questions, Finance, Information Systems Shared Services, 2020-2021 Main Estimates, program detail, $22,932,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, committee. The next activity is the Management Board Secretariat, beginning on page 147. Do committee members have questions on the Management Board Secretariat? Member for Frame Lake.
