Thank you very much to all the witnesses.
You have been absolutely extraordinary this morning. Your testimony was very moving.
I would like to continue to talk about high-speed Internet connectivity. We feel that this issue reinforces the differences between men and women, particularly in rural areas. Women don't have enough access. There has been talk about making high-speed Internet available throughout the regions. Where I live in Shefford, this is not the case, but next door, in Brome—Missisquoi, it has been shown that the plan for broadband Internet will not be able to cover all the needs.
I would like to hear what Ms. Timmons has to say on the issue. A good Internet connection is already considered an essential service.
What would it take to be successful in helping women have access? What more can be done?
