We are very much advocates for investing in access, because we see the potential and we certainly see that platforms such as eBay, but any number of platforms, allow people to make money, support a family, hire people in their local community, and stay in their local community, which is something that we see over and over again. As to how we bridge that gap, certainly we have participated in some of the consultations with ISED and are very supportive of that, but what we bring to the table is the platform.
To Mr. Geist's point, people need to be able to access the platform. Once you can access the platform at a decent speed and at a decent cost, it is amazing that the world is now suddenly your oyster and you can stay wherever you happen to be in the country.
We did a heat map that looked at commercial activity by population. We saw hot spots in southern Ontario, but also that northern B.C. and the southern part of the Northwest Territories were hotbeds of e-commerce activity. That's precisely because people are able to access. They can stay in their small communities and have meaningful commercial activity as a result of the access.
