Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I just want to point out a few things. We have to consider the context. Teaching seniors how the Internet works is all well and good, but they still need access to the Internet. I think that's the whole issue. We must ensure that all Quebeckers and Canadians have access to broadband Internet and the cell network. That is essential. I think the 2030 target is absurd.
How many of Quebec's small communities are actually connected?
There is a program, but it is a regional initiative. The region decided to tackle this with the Government of Quebec's help. The Constitution of 1867 makes it very clear that anything that did not exist at the time Canada was created is under federal jurisdiction. Telecom is therefore under federal jurisdiction. That means the federal government has to pay for projects in the regions, but we have a broadband provider in our region, GIRAT, and the government didn't put any money into its Mobile A-T project. That is a very concrete example.
Has there been any investment?
When I see that relatively little of the money has actually been spent, that makes me angry. I want to know how many small providers have received financial support to connect Canadians.
