Thank you, Mr. Premier.
We've been working with some of the space agencies in Europe. We have seven dishes in Inuvik right now, if I'm not mistaken, and I think there are plans for four more. The Italians are actually coming on board. That's going to bring some revenue to the community of Inuvik.
Next spring, we should have lights on. We ran into a bit of trouble crossing one of the streams, which held up our winter construction. However, there's a lot of potential to it and we've actually doubled the amount of lines that we're putting into the fibre. They were going to put in 24 lines of fibre, but our minister of finance of the day realized that it wasn't going to cost that much extra to put in another 24 lines, so we have a 48-line fibre. In the future, if we have to expand, we don't have to run another line, because we have the capacity there.
I'm sure you've heard about the location of Inuvik and being able to get satellite information off satellites that are coming over. We were over visiting with DLR and they were saying that, in Inuvik, much like Kiruna, Sweden, you have a half hour to get information off a satellite as it's coming over. They said that, in satellite talk, that's a lifetime, so we're quite pleased with that.
I know it's a high-tech industry, but our kids nowadays are all good on computers and everything. If we can tap into some of that opportunity, if there are opportunities there for some training, I think that's really going to help too. We have a lot of people coming to the Aurora Research Institute in Inuvik, too, doing a lot of studies, especially on climate change, and this is going to be beneficial to them as well.
We're hoping to have lights on next winter. I think we can have lights on right up to Fort Good Hope. Past Fort Good Hope is where we're having some issues with the terrain, but we'll get that resolved this year and it will be lights on throughout the territory. It's going to be huge.
