Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to thank my colleague for replacing me and addressing this important issue of connectivity. It is about access to broadband Internet services, but as Ms. Hamm pointed out, it's also about access to cellular networks. Where I'm from in Shefford, we still have several areas where it's hard to get service. For some women in rural areas, access to resources to resolve situations of violence can be complicated because access to a means of communication is difficult.
Given the current disparities in Internet and cellular connectivity, I'd like to hear from the witnesses about the problems this can create for women in emergency situations.
