Madam Chair, there are projects and requests on the minister's desk right now, for example, those of Coop-CSUR, a small business, a small distributor in my riding. Four projects were submitted that involve getting 400 to 500 people in the riding connected. This company is waiting for federal funding. There are also other obstacles related to the major network owner.
If this is a priority, why is it taking so long to respond to the projects that small distributors submitted to connect their fellow citizens to high-speed Internet?
