Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Catchy names.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Well, we try to keep the number of our people down to what is absolutely needed. We're not bloated; we're far from bloated.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you. It takes many bright people to share ideas. Actually, just before coming here we were in a planning session for a number of items.

Our energy initiatives are based in large part on that. Our second-largest cost, apart from our backbone, our satellite, is electricity.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  We are trying to develop, in our own little world, holistic solutions for all of that. It's a very good question. It's like the knee bone is connected to the thigh bone is connected to the hip bone. We have to look at this holistically. It's infrastructure, globally.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  In our business, there's a saying that you don't buy technology, you just lease it. We're constantly having to reinvest.
