Mr. Speaker, I want to bring to the attention of the government a group of Canadians who are falling through the cracks.
Recently, Bell, Rogers and Telus announced the lifting of Internet data caps. This is a welcome announcement and will greatly help Canadians living in cities, but millions of Canadians who live in rural areas are not eligible for the lifting of these data caps. Many of these customers rely on products like Rogers' Rocket Hub or Bell's Turbo Hub, and their data caps have not been lifted. For a typical family of mom and dad who have to work from home, with two kids at home who have to do online learning through video, they could easily go through 250 gigabytes of data a month, incurring a $1,000-Internet bill.
Could the government comment on this situation and what steps it is taking to address it?
