Madam Speaker, I would like to address a question to my hon. colleague who spoke most eloquently. It is with respect to the youth and seniors in his rural riding.
In the budget last night there was the community access component of the SchoolNet. He and I both share a rural riding so I know how important the low cost initiative aimed at helping 1,000 rural communities to participate in this knowledge based economy is to my hon. colleague. I would like my hon. colleague to explain to us how this will affect his riding and how beneficial it will be to youth.
