Thank you for your question.
There has been a long period of consultation with the provinces over the past few years. In 2015, the government decided to launch a consultation process to establish
the broadband network.
This is an initiative led by the public safety ministries both federally and provincially. We work very closely with our colleagues at Innovation, Science and Economic Development, which is clear in the funding request of a full $3 million. The expectation is that through the course of this year we will consult broadly with stakeholders on the structure of a broadband network. In reality, the technology is the easy part. It's the determination of system requirements—and the people who need to determine the system requirements are the users. Those are first responders and people in the front line. That's very much a responsibility of public safety ministries.
