Mr. Speaker, since day one, we have worked to connect over a million households to high-speed Internet, and that work is far from over.
Access without high-speed Internet and cell service is difficult at the best of times, but because of COVID-19, hardships, frustrations and challenges have increased. Our government is aware. We are accelerating our plans. We are adding ambitions to those plans. We will do everything we can to connect every household to high-speed Internet, because economic recovery for Canada begins with rural broadband.
