I think that's a great question. One thing we recognized explicitly in our report is the need for collaboration at the federal, provincial and even the municipal levels. One recommendation we made is that the minister should report annually to Parliament on the status of broadband deployment, and it was for exactly that reason, so that there would be an obligation on the part of the minister to report to Parliament on how all these programs are working together to solve the problem.
Whether or not that means some of the criteria should include, as you say, compensation after the fact for monies that have already been paid, that's a great question for the government to consider as we recognize the urgency of making sure every Canadian, no matter where they live, both individuals and businesses, have broadband connectivity. It's vital to succeed in today's economy where, as my colleague said, everything is digital.
