Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Before I ask my question, I just want to echo what my colleague has said in that I do believe that Internet is becoming very clearly a Canadian right, not in the sense that streaming movies is a right, but in the sense that the pandemic has shown us that access to information, which in this case information means life or death, access to information was very much solely on the Internet, especially as information was coming out daily. It was changing hourly, and we're still in a situation where, even last week, with the announcement of: if you've been in this place and this place between these times, then you need to get yourself off the street and get yourself checked out and get yourself into self-isolation. That was distributed over the Internet, and if we did end up with a community outbreak, we would need people to know. We would need people to have access to that information for their health and safety.

I'd like to echo also equitable access to education. Education is a Canadian right and education was for the most part solely delivered online during the lockdown of the pandemic. Whether or not schools were producing paper documents, there was a distinct difference between what kids were getting access to online versus what they were getting access to in paper documents. Beyond that, go to economic recovery, our economic development. Internet is a huge piece of that. I think we definitely need to put our weight behind this one, and we definitely need to not be the last people in line.

From there, I'd like to go onto cell service. One of the things I've heard frequently since starting this job and growing up in the North I've always known it, there are places as soon as you get that one pretty pink rock, you're not getting cell service anymore. You're not getting it until you get just past the quarry there. What I'm wondering is: we lose people every single year on the road to Behchoko. The Member for Monfwi has had to pull over and save a life because he luckily had a sat phone. I don't travel with a sat phone. I'm wondering where pieces for those missing cell service links are within this capital plan. Thank you.
