Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to take this opportunity to respond to your comments, Mr. Robins. You mentioned that you were investing in Internet connections. I'd be curious to know if, over the past five years, you've invested in connections in Quebec.
There was the project to bring high-speed Internet to rural areas, which was funded primarily by the Quebec government and was a major success. As part of this initiative, the federal government directly transferred approximately $7 billion, if memory serves. The federal government made commitments extending through approximately 2030. This is a prime example of the federal government simply transferring funds to Quebec without conditions. This initiative was a huge success in building rural Internet connectivity. I was elected in 2019, and this was my primary campaign pledge. This initiative came to fruition thanks to the transfer of funds from Ottawa to Quebec, and it was a success.
Now that the Canada Infrastructure Bank has money for Internet connections, has any of that money gone to Quebec?
