Thank you, Madam Chair.
I touched on this topic briefly. It's certainly difficult to provide a lot of details in five minutes.
I spoke of connectivity. It's not just access to the Internet and broadband. We often forget access to the cellular network. A poor network affects education. As we have seen, children are at school half the time in virtual mode and half the time face to face.
It also affects work—whether or not you can telework—and access to resources. The difficulties caused by this reduced connectivity make women and seniors more isolated and vulnerable, especially in rural areas. As Ms. Bota rightly said, you don't need to go very far out in the country to have connectivity issues.
