Liberal Industry Critic Marc Garneau said that in the era of digitalization the rural broadband must be considered parallel to CAP as such programs help the rural area Canadians to get online employment, training, education, markets, economic and government services that they aspire to seek.
The industry ministry in rectification of his statement that the funds for CAP are coming to an end on april1 said that CAP sites which had been developed in 1995 by the liberal government to rural and remote schools, library and community centres will remain to get funding from rural broadband strategy fund.
Compare Broadband Packages and Deals for prices, download allowance, speed and contract length with major broadband packages available in UK.
Mr. Garneau said that Mr. Clement has rolled out letters to schools, libraries and community centres stating that they would not get internet funding in an attempt to control political damage but he has still got to give an explanation for the fate of rural broadband strategy if that fund would be used to cover CAP.
The rural broadband strategy fund rolled out in 2009 budget will run out in two years and till date zero funding has been made for the aforesaid purpose and the allocations has been done for the CAP from that very fund.
New Brunswick MP Jean-Claude D'Amours, speaking on behalf of upset constituents asked clarification from the minister Clement to clear up the confusion created by his statement showing government’s fiscal incompetency.
