First, there has to be access to the infrastructure. That's extremely important. Unfortunately, we are sometimes blocked because the infrastructure, meaning the poles, belongs to Bell Canada.
As we said earlier, programs do exist. The federal government has one. Quebec has the Régions branchées program, with which we are working to serve what I too will call the “backwaters”, because everyone knows what it means. Of course, the further away the backwaters are, the higher the cost to bring optical fibre to the users there.
How do we find a balance between government support and what the company is able to provide? Today, the modalities of the Régions branchées program are being discussed. We have spoken with Mr. Field about the conditions for requests for proposals, the calls for tender, that would ensure that the public receives the service. The same issues apply today with the Régions branchées program.
