Thank you, Mr. Amos, for guiding us in the right direction on the matter of cellular services.
At 7:00 a.m. this morning I took part in an interview with Ghislain Plourde, from CIME FM, to discuss your motion. I think it's extremely important.
Since our meeting in the beginning of 2016, we have worked very hard on telecommunications. Together we made presentations to the CRTC in 2016 to move this file forward. We had some major successes with Internet services. We studied the Internet services file in this committee, but we aren't making much headway on the cellular services file.
We have experienced problems in connection with this in our respective ridings, in the context of the current disasters.
Can you give us a picture of what is happening with cellular services in your riding?
In Amherst, in my riding, people from various services have to meet at city hall to discuss the situation and then go back out into the field, precisely because they are unable to communicate on the ground.
Is the situation the same in your riding?
