We're very committed to the Canadian Space Agency. In the first budget we increased the amount by $379 million, and in the most recent budget we added another $80.9 million. We've established a new advisory committee to provide long-term direction for the Canadian Space Agency. We're currently in the process of developing a long-term space strategy. It's about supporting the International Space Station and deep space exploration, but it's also about focusing in areas of technology that can benefit us here on earth as well. This is an area of priority for us.
I think the numbers you're referring to, the decrease in funding, when you're looking at the estimates, is mainly related to the RADARSAT constellation mission. It's a profiling issue. As you said, it's a cash flow issue. By no means does it reflect a decrease in our funding for the Canadian Space Agency. It's just the way it's being profiled. I think that's what you see the delta as.
With regard to broadband, we launched connect to innovate, a program of $500 million. It was very well received, and it was oversubscribed, because the deadline was April 12. We're now evaluating project initiatives and we're really excited about getting those out to some of the rural and remote communities that will benefit from our commitment to providing high-speed Internet access to some of those communities.
