Minister, your government has given billions of tax dollars to Telesat, a low-earth satellite Internet company that has no low-earth satellite Internet network and connects no one to the Internet. You said that the reason you gave a satellite Internet company that has no satellite network and connects no one to the Internet billions of tax dollars since 2019 is because it promised to connect Canadians to the Internet in 2024. It's 2024. Is it fair to say that zero Canadians are connected to the Internet via Telesat Lightspeed?
