The Member of Parliament for Dauphin - Swan River - Neepawa wants to hear about your experience with internet connectivity.
Dan Mazier has sent out a survey to the Parkland, and hopes to use your feedback to improve rural connectivity infrastructure at the federal level.
“The more input we have to that gives me great information to move forward — so we can start pushing industry and pushing regulations that would work in our favour.”
Mazier points to a stat from 2017 that suggests only 37% of rural households have sufficient internet speed.
“We know there’s massive [gaps] in here. It’s inconsistent — and that’s why I really am a firm supporter and advocate for getting this riding connected so we can all talk as a riding, and connect to the rest of the world.”
You can hear MP Dan Mazier once a month on the Al Morning Show for the “Parliament and the Parkland” segment, hosted by CKDM’s political correspondent James Blake.
