Mr. Stephen Ellis (Cumberland—Colchester, CPC)

Mr. Speaker, I am very happy to hear that the minister has finally used a phone to call fish harvesters. It was certainly not on cell service because the cell service in Nova Scotia is substandard for a wealthy country. Cell towers are now running on generator power. Even Liberals have recognized the essential nature of this critical infrastructure for individuals and small businesses. My premiers called for action. The minister responsible committed to fixing and maintaining this critical infrastructure three years ago. When will Canadians see some action and not more platitudes?

Mr. Speaker, I agree with Premier Houston that the situation with cell service is entirely unacceptable. Later today, along with the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, I will be meeting with the CEOs of Canada's telecommunication providers, and I will be insisting on better service for the people of Atlantic Canada and for Quebeckers, and for a plan to ensure this never happens again.
