Hello. Thank you for your presentation and for making the effort to say a few words in French. We always appreciate that. I also want to point out that your priorities when it comes to initiatives targeting innovation, growth and sustainable development seem to be at the forefront now. To me, that's an important point.
I wouldn't be sitting here today if I hadn't made access to the Internet and cell networks a key component of my election campaign. Inadequate access to broadband Internet service is a major problem in my region, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, and I believe a lot of rural regions have the same problem.
You mentioned that a lot of places, especially in rural regions, are lagging in terms of connectivity. I would like to know what concrete measures are being taken to bring them up to speed. There seems to be money allocated, but it hasn't been spent yet.
