Mr. Speaker, equal opportunity, regardless of where one lives, is a fundamental right for all Canadians.
In the 21st century, as technology advances faster and faster, and while the Conservatives can spend $1.3 billion on the G8 and G20, some 700,000 Canadians in our regions still do not have high-speed Internet access.
They will splurge on summits, but they have nothing for Canadians.
When will the government invest in our rural regions, in equality, and provide high-speed Internet access for all Canadians?
