I'm happy to answer that question.
You're absolutely right that broadband was always important. We were engaged even before COVID, but I'm sure for all of us here today and everywhere else, without exception, COVID has really underscored the incredible importance of broadband.
We have been engaged in meetings with representatives from the Inuit in the north. They have told us that one of their huge challenges is that, without a broadband connection, they can't get students to finish their high school education there. A proper broadband connection at school enables them to finish their education and not have to leave home at such an early age. That has all sorts of incredibly important and positive social spinoffs.
Broadband is a key sector for us. We are engaged very actively with the folks at ISED, who have the technology and mapping capability and have run programs like connect to innovate in the past. There is also their universal broadband fund, which is yet to come. I think Minister Monsef said it will be released later this summer.
We are also engaged with the CRTC to have a good, hard look into how we can participate in their programs and leverage their programs with CIB money to have even more of an impact. We're in discussions about creating additional and complementary programs that we would work on with the CRTC in order to have a significant impact across the country and connect homes in ways that matter, ways that are much quicker than the original target of 2030, which was ambitious. I think the COVID situation has created a greater awareness that speed is definitely of the essence.
