Mr. Speaker, I have heard the Conservatives say that they are listening to rural communities across Canada, even in the riding of my colleague across the way. I am rather pleased to hear that the member is protecting or trying to define the need for high-speed Internet.
Our government developed the rural economic development strategy with the goal of supporting the economic recovery. For education, as I said earlier, we focused on the resilience of rural regions across Canada, not just in one riding.
