Industry committee  Madam Chair, I'll have to get back to the committee on what we can and cannot provide, but I'm very happy to follow up on the question—

Industry committee  I'm happy, Madam Chair, to get back to the committee. The honourable member had other questions. I can quickly try to give an answer. I'm sorry; I'm now having a senior moment.

Industry committee  Madam Chair, I'm going to have to suggest that the committee get in touch with the finance ministry. That's not something we are responsible for directly delivering. I'd be a little loath to speak to it, since it's colleagues who are responsible.

Industry committee  I would say, Madam Chair, that in all of our discussions with our colleagues in Finance, the Revenue Agency and others on these supports for business, I can assure the members that the civil service has been keen on moving as quickly as possible and that ministers have been tryin

Industry committee  Madam Chair, I think we've tried to build in a bunch of enhancements to make this a better program. As Mr. Dagenais explained earlier, the old hexagon model is gone, which actually allows us to be much more granular about where there is Internet access and where there is not. We

Industry committee  Madam Chair, the ministers may be better suited to answer that question. As for our department and our employees, we now have a strategy and a very clear objective, which is to provide a download speed of 50 megabits per second and an upload speed of 10 megabits per second, ofte

Industry committee  I don't think it's a matter of anything being sacrificed. The department received an additional $750 million. That is new money. The Canada infrastructure bank will earmark $2 billion. I think any questions about that $2 billion should go to the people at the Canada infrastructu

Industry committee  Madam Chair, I can certainly speak to that. The superclusters are designed to help nurture an ecosystem. Frankly, part of it is to build connections between organizations that might not necessarily have connected otherwise because the ecosystem might be weaker than would be nee

Industry committee  I'm very happy to do that, and if the honourable member will indulge me, I will give one other point of clarification as well. To be clear, the government did not overturn CRTC's decision on wholesale access rights. The government declined to intervene, because the CRTC has an

Industry committee  I'm getting a note saying that she's locked out for some reason. I'm sorry.

Industry committee  Madam Chair, we can certainly write to the committee and provide that detail. There is work going on right now, I can assure the committee.

Industry committee  Yes, that is definitely the plan, to be ready. Just very briefly, there has been a lot of work going into how we run an auction safely, particularly in a COVID environment. Just to give one example to the honourable member, there is usually an auction room and usually people are

Industry committee  Madam Chair, not to split hairs, but I am not the deputy responsible for the trade ministry. I may be incorrect in that regard, but I believe Sara Wilshaw, the chief trade commissioner from Global Affairs, might be one of the witnesses here.

Industry committee  Madam Chair, I am going to turn to my chief financial officer. Typically, these numbers are not reflecting year-over-year reductions. It's typically the timing of when we receive money through the main estimates or the supplementary estimates. It's a technical issue. I'll turn

Industry committee  Madam Chair, I will again turn to my colleague Éric, who actually runs the programming, to speak a little bit about this issue. Obviously, affordability is a key objective of the government. There are a variety of programs and measures on affordability. In terms of the actual ar
