As a former mayor, you know how important infrastructure is to the quality of life. Right now, if not the top priority, one of the absolute top priorities in terms of infrastructure investments has to be in broadband. It's not just a productivity issue; it's an equity issue. That's why our government is making historic investments in broadband. It's part of the infrastructure program I am responsible for.
The Canada Infrastructure Bank identified it as a key priority, so it is one of the priorities that's set out for investment in the next three years. It's $2 billion for large-scale broadband projects. We really need large-scale projects, because we need to connect a lot of people to high-speed broadband.
They have a longer-term goal. It's $3 billion for unserved and underserved communities. They're working with our government to identify opportunities, as well as with other governments. That's a real opportunity. It's all hands on deck when it comes to broadband, and we need to accelerate quickly. We've said we want to have all Canadians connected to broadband, and we need to do that as fast as possible.
