Thank you very much, Chair.
I certainly appreciate all the testimony from all the witnesses.
The topic of the hour does seem to be connectivity and access for all Canadians to high-speed Internet.
I am on the industry, science and technology committee. We have been studying the accessibility and affordability of high-speed Internet in some detail, so I am well aware of the fact that our government has, since 2015, committed to an investment of some $6.2 billion—98% by 2026—in terms of ensuring connectivity for all Canadians.
It's all very well, of course, to make these big announcements. The purpose here today is to try to understand how these projects are actually going to be actioned and what your experience is on the ground.
I would like to turn to my former colleague, Chair Bradley. We were together for more than 10 years in the Ontario legislature.
I have a really friendly question to start off with, Jim. I'm sure you are embracing all this new technology with your usual enthusiasm.
