You are totally right.
It is one of the best investments that the government could make. I don't know if people realize how important it is. It is not actually a recurring investment. By investing in this way, you get the fibre into homes and you provide each one with an Internet connection. After that, the service pays for itself and nothing else needs to be asked for.
We need a rotational management plan for our infrastructure. We know that. The issue will come back in a few years and we have to find the means to address it.
As you were saying about the Internet project, investments have been made. In 17 months, all households in Quebec should have their connection complete. As an investment, it's super.
I think it's the same everywhere. In the COVID-19 pandemic, students were told that they have to study from home. Everyone has been told not to go to the office and to work from home. In other words, everything has to be done from home. But we realized that things don't always work properly from home. In a number of homes, it could not be done, which was an incredible problem. The situation has now gone to another level.
I met the Premier a year and a half ago and I told him the same thing. However, in that year and a half, the situation has changed. Once, we used to say that an Internet connection was essential. Now, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become indispensable.
With that investment, the government has just taken a very important step. I hope that all Canadians will be able to obtain Internet service as quickly as possible.
