The 2019 budget, un- veiled on March 19, promis- es up to $6 billion for devel- oping broadband service over the next decade in ru- ral, remote and northern communities. The end result is a goal that everyone, no matter where they are in the coun- try, will have access to In- ternet speeds of 50 mega- bits per second (Mbps) for downloading data and 10 Mbps for uploading data by 2030. For long-time rural In- ternet advocate Cindy Lu- nau, who spent years pressing the government on the issue as a member of Milton Council, the Liber- als' plan contains "lovely words" that she fears may not translate as promised in areas like rural Halton Hills and Milton. "These areas were spe- cifically excluded in past funding for rural Internet," she said, explaining that due to their geography within the borders of mu- nicipalities that contain ur- ban areas, they weren't de- fined as in need of 'rural' broadband service.
