Public Safety committee  This is very interesting and something that I did not mention in our presentation, which deals more with First Nations. However, it would be important to add the Canadian military bases to this link. That is something that could be considered. Mr. Scheer wants to ensure Canada's

Public Safety committee  We are talking to Hydro-Québec about using its dark fibre network, but that network is still just serving the south.
