I’m pretty sure she’s not allowed to suggest that I am doing misinformation, but, Speaker, if you’re going to let her, then I guess I will.

A few things: The Ontario Place stuff—

However, what the member suggested was misinformation that came to the floor—that story, “Ford Government Forced to Fix Rushed Zoning Order that Put Tower on Flight Path.” I’m referring to a Global News piece posted on November 6, 2023. It explained the whole thing about the rushed process, what happened. It’s a three-pager. So if it’s misinformation, please let Isaac Callan and Colin D’Mello know.

Everybody in here is rooting for broadband for everyone. So the fact that we have seen this pattern of underspending—why? How come?

I think not specific to this bill but to broadband generally: When you’re working with municipalities or regions that have suggestions, sometimes government can be almost too rigid. If they’re looking for applications on a particular funding thing, then innovative ideas might not fit and then we miss an opportunity. I have examples of that that I’m hearing from communities about ways to make things better. We need to make sure that those ideas can move forward.
