"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the House because, whenever it wants to investigate any matter further, it is at liberty to do so. However, the Chair can direct in any way. I have herewith attached an appendix showing all the fees paid by all the companies. It might be true that some of the companies are not up to date with their payments. That is very true and these are issues that need to be dealt with because the companies have to pay for the frequencies. The House can then go further and investigate the matter. I do not need to give any permission for that to happen. That is the business of the House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of covering the country, it is true that the Minister for Information and Communications does not have television in his constituency. However, he is not the only person who does not receive television transmission in his constituency. It is true that some of my colleagues from the remote areas of the northern part of this country do not have television cover. It is the policy of the Government that the public broadcaster begins to think in terms of covering the entire country. In fact, when we go digital, I suggest that it begins in areas where there is no coverage today. They should be the first ones to enjoy that. 2346 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE August 6, 2008"
