Quebecers know that high-speed Internet access is no longer a luxury; it is essential for everyone, including those living in rural and remote regions.<\/p>\n

The current crisis has highlighted how much we all rely on high-speed Internet, and this need is sure to be even greater in the future. Now more than ever, it is essential that people have access to reliable, affordable high-speed Internet in their homes so they can work, learn, and communicate with loved ones.<\/p>\n

Today, Will Amos, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry (Science), along with Quebec representatives Gilles B\u00e9langer, Member of the National Assembly for Orford and Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Economy and Innovation (economy and high-speed Internet), and Denis\u00a0Lamothe, Member of the National Assembly for Ungava and Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister Responsible for Indigenous Affairs and Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Forests, Wildlife and Parks (wildlife and parks), announced an investment of over $16.5 million in the\u00a0Eeyou Communications Network<\/a>, a not-for-profit telecommunications corporation that provides broadband carrier services for the Cree communities of Eeyou Istchee and municipalities of the James Bay region.<\/p>\n

This project will deliver a backbone network of optical fibre technology that will provide reliable, high-speed broadband to 16 communities, as well as a last-mile network using optical fibre technology to reach underserved households in three of these communities in the Nord-du-Qu\u00e9bec and Mauricie regions. Moreover, the last-mile networks will improve broadband capacity for 6,176 underserved households in these regions.<\/p>\n

Thanks to work that was recently completed in Matagami, Chapais, Lebel-sur-Qu\u00e9villon and Chibougamau, the project in the Nord-du-Qu\u00e9bec region can now serve 5,826 additional households and 252 additional businesses.<\/p>\n
