Madam Speaker, when the minister announced the results of the 600 megahertz auction last year, she noted the government's set-aside policy had created more competition for Canadians. However, we now know that set-aside bidders have a poor track record of deploying spectrum in rural communities. There needs to be a “use it or lose it” condition to ensure that spectrum is deployed in rural Canada.
Why will the government not force service providers to deploy spectrum in rural Canada so we can get high-speed Internet?
