Mr. Hawkins, that activity was called three separate times so we will not be able to go back to that activity on page 7-13. Page 7-14, information item, directorate, active positions.

Before we allow the Minister the opportunity to respond, it was agreed upon earlier today that we’d do an aggregate of the general comments and then I’ll ask the Minister the opportunity to reply. If there are specific questions, they can make reference to the particular Member.

With that, I’ll open up again to general comments from any of the Members. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Ms. Bisaro.

Nunavut, for example, has very similar concerns to us. They signed on; they felt that television and radio were the proper tools that they could use in a lack of cell service as well. Because they felt the need to do so, why does the Minister feel that...
