Through you, Mr. Chair, the reality is, with SWIFT and these other programs we have in place, that it is a long process that we go through. As you know, Niagara has been a member of SWIFT right from the start. The $21.2 million that came onto the table in January has been an awful lot of work that we've had to progress through and move forward with. As you also know, it has only touched a piece of what it is we need to do within Niagara.
By the way, I'm quite impressed with everybody else's remarks today. This is a common theme throughout the country. The rural broadband is one of those things that we need to be focusing in on to make sure we have adequate funding in place. We need to make sure—and going back to one of the earlier topics—about the flexibility that's coming into place. We seem to get caught up in red tape, whether it's on the provincial or the federal side of things, when it comes to some of these programs as we move along.
Long story short, I'm very pleased with the federal investments in this, and I am looking forward to solving some of these problems over the next couple of years.
