I thank the witnesses for their presence here today. We appreciate it greatly.
I am particularly interested in broadband Internet access in rural communities and areas. We are discussing access to local and community news. I am speaking on behalf of my community, but I am also probably speaking for several regions in Canada where access is not available currently. We are pleased about the investments you intend to make. As Mr. Nantel was saying, you will invest $2 billion dollars in Quebec. Perhaps you will be able to tell us in what sector that amount will be invested. Will it be in broadband services? That is my first question.
I have a second one. In the last budget, our government spoke about a $500-million investment in digital infrastructure to help communities access broadband Internet. How will this amount help you to better connect the population?
