Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think there's not an average Canadian, unfortunately, when it comes to telecom services. And one thing I've learned is that many rural, remote, and particularly northern communities, struggle with their telecoms. The upside of that is that that just lends a stronger voice at federal/provincial/territorial tables for all of us that are struggling with this issue. And it's one of the few times where, you know, I would say the fact that CRTC has as much involvement as they do on our telecoms industry does give a place where we can take that voice and take those concerns.
So as I have indicated already earlier, there's already a mandate that 50/10 service levels are to be provided to all communities within the Northwest Territories over the next couple of years. We do get regular updates from Northwestel with respect to hitting that target.
And then as was generally -- you know, I do think there's a next challenge of affordability and accessibility that we do need to face. And in that regard, yes, the Government of the Northwest Territories continues to advocate very directly, I would say, on those issues, looking for very specific solutions and providing that advocacy to CRTC who are, again, the regulator over the telecoms industry here in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
