Madam Chair, I would like very specific and precise answers and not waste my time for my questions. So I would appreciate that very much.
The other question I want to ask is, you know, we have NorthwesTel here as the main proponent in this settlement. And, you know, I've always been against monopolies because when you have a monopoly in business, you never try to give the best service. And that's usually what happens in business. And I think it's extremely important that we as a government start being more accountable and more transparent. And that's what we were trying to do.
You know, there's another part of a whole situation that I'm in with Fort Smith with the fire centre. There we have the fire centre who we're going to put out now to a different process and yet we pay out an international company and NorthwesTel, who is stationed in the Yukon, and we're paying all this extra money for -- to make sure we agree on a settlement outside the premises of the agreement and that to me is very alarming. And I'd like to know if that's okay for the Minister of Finance to say that's okay, and how did this settlement come about? Thank you, Madam Chair.
