Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Welcome to our guests.

My first question goes to Mr. Demers.

Mr. Demers, last month, our government took its collaborative approach to investment in broadband to a new level. Together with the Government of Quebec, it announced an investment of more than $800 million to speed up broadband projects in the province. This new investment will allow every Quebecer to be connected to high-speed Internet by the end of 2022.

Could you tell us how crucial investments in broadband infrastructure are for the province's economic recovery, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic?
