Mr. Speaker, I paid $79 for the phone I have at home and I would be more than happy to give the minister the name and address of the store where I bought it.
Not only public works but foreign affairs too has paid $1.1 million for new phones and satellite time. They expect the phone system to fail on January 1, 2000 because of the Y2K bug. The only problem is that these phones are not Y2K compliant.
What is the minister going to do now that he has paid for hundreds of phones at $5,000 apiece when he may not be able to use them because they might not work?
