You mentioned about 300,000 kilometres. Mine is 348,000 kilometres, so we know the problems we face in northern Saskatchewan. One of the things is remote communities in northern Saskatchewan, or in my constituency. When I go into the riding for two or three days, I'm shut off from the outside world. I don't have communications through cellphone or a lot of times through e-mails, or even through the luxury of having a computer. That's the challenge I face in northern Saskatchewan just in regard to technology. So when I hear the recommendations made by the commission, I know it's preposterous to even try to contemplate that in my riding.
