As regards amendment No. 2, there is considerable frustration over broadband quality. Those in rural communities are rarely achieving the kinds of

broadband speeds that are claimed. The limited publicity regarding the Bill indicated that at last it would be a panacea or a silver bullet to rectify the

broadband issue. I understand the first phase would take it to the provincial towns and the second phase would take it to the other communities. We need

to ensure that the high quality broadband that is being offered is received by the consumer. That is the purpose of the amendment.
