Public Safety committee  To answer your question, yes, that's why there will be opportunity to connect some remote communities from which you'll get some power to do the repeaters. A design has been done to have a couple of communities feeding the line in the north of Canada. This is an occasion to feed.

Public Safety committee  From what we know, because we don't know them, it's a U.S. company that is basically supporting this project.

Public Safety committee  Yes.

Public Safety committee  Yes, that's why we say we would like to have a Canadian team, but the Cree, we have some money, but we don't have enough to do it alone.

Public Safety committee  We would like to own it up to Alaska and up to Europe. We would basically like to own phase three.

Public Safety committee  It's basically not to be submitted through the PATRIOT Act and all the laws that regulate it. You want to try to be out of the reach of the NSA system.

Public Safety committee  We have signed agreements, but not with respect to data centres. We import security equipment for mines, sweaters and things like that.

Public Safety committee  No.

Public Safety committee  We are in discussions for a prefeasibility study, which would provide more solid statistics on the economic benefits. We believe that the banking data processing centres that would be established in northern Quebec would generate significant economic benefits for Quebec.
