Sure. While bridging Canada's digital divide is extremely important, we realize that connecting rural and remote communities will not be cheap. Funding made available through things like the universal broadband fund is so important and is still the best investment the government can make to ensure that all Canadians get connected.
While I appreciate the linkage, connectivity or accessibility and affordability are distinct issues. There is no reason that accessibility should ever come at the expense of competitors who offer the only real alternative to the big incumbents and provide fantastic customer service and lower prices coast to coast.
