Madam Chair, with the money that we've set aside—it's a billion dollars at the moment that my ministry is responsible for delivering, and that would be under the authority of Minister Monsef—there was a consultation that took place. I believe it was late last year, but we sort of just came off a consultation, and the plan in the next short while will be to go forward with the launch so that we can start taking applications and making those decisions.
The consultations afforded an opportunity to talk to rural communities and others, indigenous groups and so on, to get a sense of their priorities, and the design will try to respond to the kinds of concerns that we've heard. Certainly, the issue of rural connectivity is a key one. I can't get into the details. Obviously we'll have to put the program up on the website and start taking applications, but we want to make sure it closely adheres to the kinds of challenges that people told us about when we did the consultations.
