As you mentioned, many of us take for granted that we might leave here today and, on our cellphone, pay a bill before we head home. There are many individuals in rural and remote communities who can't do that, but putting a price tag on missed opportunity is really difficult.
What we saw throughout the pandemic was that so much of Canadians' lives shifted to an online environment. Many small businesses that don't have access to the Internet likely lost revenues, and that's a really hard thing to quantify. We can't get at that in our report. That's why it's so important not to look at the numbers for accessibility across the country and say that we're doing a great job, because the numbers for urban communities mask what's going on in rural, remote and first nations communities. It's about ensuring that all of our recommendations are addressed and that we properly cost how much it will take to reach those hardest to reach, because it is expensive and that hasn't been done yet.
