The cost depends in part on the quality of the services chosen. The minister stated earlier that the investment of approximately $200 million would extend the service to a good many Canadians. We did not do any definitive calculations in view of determining how much it would cost to connect up to the very last Canadian in some isolated part of the country. However, we are of the view that the investments to come will significantly contribute to filling the gap between those who presently have access to those services and those who do not.
