Sure.
The reason it's fragmented is that it doesn't all come out at once. We've had a number of programs, such as connect to innovate, connecting Canadians, the universal broadband fund and the Canada Infrastructure Bank funding, bump up at different times. The other main part of the process that makes it uncoordinated is that it is application driven. I shouldn't use the word “beauty contest”, but that's what it is. You put in an application, and if your application is good, you get the money.
There are other ways to do this. There are reverse options. There are fewer categories of criteria that you need to satisfy, and you could probably have a more efficient system. It's for that reason.
It's also that the funding comes from at least two locations from the federal government: from the ISED division, and from the CRTC's ongoing broadband fund. Finally, there are provincial funds, often matching or not matching and different deadlines. Therefore, the coordination challenges with that, especially for a smaller community-based provider, are very difficult.
