Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I have a couple of questions, maybe as a bit of background.
Ms. Qaqqaq, I can relate to you about Internet connectivity, but probably not on the same scale that you have or in terms of the challenges you have in Nunavut. At our committee meeting last week, I was on a passionate rant to my colleagues and felt like I had their support about halfway through, when all of a sudden I was cut off and had to reconvene, right in the middle of a House of Commons committee.
One of the questions I have about connectivity when we talk about procedures and all that—and maybe Ms. Ashton can speak about this as well—is that it's important for us to understand time frames, not necessarily just for ourselves as members who may have challenges but for provincial colleagues or municipal elected officials and some of those essential services.
A fix for this, for having quality Internet access in your riding accessible to you, is not something that's going to take a couple of weeks. We lack a lot of infrastructure. Can you give some details from your community on how far we really need to go to get that parity, whether it's for you individually or members of your community in your hometown?
