First, thank you for your kind comments about FedNor. We certainly believe we play a very important role in northern Ontario.
With respect to broadband, FedNor has historically been involved in broadband and has funded broadband development across northern Ontario. This most recent year the government announced a new broadband program, $500 million, that it is in the process of unveiling.
It's important that FedNor take a step back and not duplicate the efforts of a pan-Canada program, and we have done so previously. This is a reflection of what we're doing now. We had a number of broadband applications that we were in the process of reviewing and hopefully looking at making recommendations on support. But as a result of the new broadband program coming on stream, we felt it was more prudent for us to pass those applications on, again, within my own department for consideration.
