Thank you, Madam Chair.
I have a few questions for Mr. Kennedy or Mr. Dagenais, whoever would like to answer. I asked some of these questions last week and I just want to dig in a little bit deeper.
There are a few major Internet projects in Ontario, one in southern Ontario called SWIFT and one in my area called EORN, that are looking for over $200 million from the federal government to complete large-scale Internet programs. The issue that we're seeing is that there's funding that's been announced and there are a couple of different streams, but there's some confusion as to which streams are best. In my area, we're looking for over $200 million. The rapid funding has a cap of just over $100 million. The EORN project, of course, is almost like several mini-projects rolled into one, so I just would like some advice, as I'm dealing with the EORN officials, and I know that you guys speak with them as well. What's the best way to navigate these funding streams? There are different deadlines for applications. Is it possible that these funding streams could have been tailored better to some of these large-scale projects?
Would someone give me some comments on that?
