That's certainly a problem in our rural areas. Broadband is very hit and miss. In about half of the riding I come from, you can forget about having any access to the Internet whatsoever.
When it comes to your association—and maybe this is more a question for Mr. Kelly—what steps can we take to have better access to broadband in regions? In particular, there seems to be reticence on the part of telephone companies to actually start supplying broadband in a lot of our regions in Canada. There's a bit of an entrepreneurial spirit, where some people are now setting up microwave services that seem to be more accessible.
Do you have any input, any ideas, on that front? Are any of your members thinking of moving forward with setting up a different kind of infrastructure so that we can bypass the larger telcos, or are we really stuck with having to go with the telcos and their timetables, which seem to be glacial?
