Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. We know that Internet and cellular connectivity is very important for our safety in Quebec, in rural areas and on Route 138. The accident was most unfortunate. I am pleased that the victim was not seriously injured. As we speak, no other government has done as much as we have for Internet connectivity. The Internet is now also available with a cell network, and we will work on this until it is completed.

Madam Speaker, we know there is a problem on Route 138, but this same problem exists all over Canada. During the pandemic, we realized just how important it is to have Internet and cell coverage all across the country. We have already made an exceptional commitment to get Quebec connected to the Internet with a 98% connectivity rate by September 2022, in partnership with the Government of Quebec. Work is ongoing, and we will continue until we have built an Internet network and a cell network.

Madam Speaker, Internet-based activities are just as important in Saskatchewan as they are in Quebec and the rest of Canada. We know that cell service is very important, and that is one of our top priorities. We have undertaken a massive connectivity project for rural and remote communities. We will keep working on this until there is full Internet and cell coverage.
