I think, Minister, you can appreciate that a dead zone is literally a dead zone when somebody doesn't have access. That's one of the big key issues we would like to raise.
You have shown that this is important to you, but how are you going to work with your ministers to ensure that when you have an Auditor General's report that found that rural and remote communities are currently sitting at 60% high-speed Internet access and the same AG report says government efforts are falling short...? While 91% of Canadian households have access, just 59.5% of those in rural and remote areas enjoyed the same access, and that number drops to 42.9% for households on first nation reserves.
