Mr. Speaker, I live in a rural area and I understand that Internet access is not a luxury; it is essential. In the last seven months, many more people are working from home. They are accessing goods and services online. The kids are doing their classes from the kitchen table. More than ever, it is important that all Canadians have access to the Internet.
As confirmed in the throne speech, we will accelerate the connectivity timelines and the ambitions of the universal broadband fund. We are going to ensure that all Canadians, no matter where they live, have access to high-speed Internet.
