Connecting all Canadians to High-Speed Internet

As we continue to deal with the global COVID-19 pandemic, Canadians have needed to rely on the Internet to help connect them to work, school, government resources, and loved ones.

Fast and reliable internet isn’t a luxury. It’s a basic service that everyone deserves to have access to - no matter where you live. That’s why we’re launching our Universal Broadband Fund today, and aiming to connect all Canadians to high-speed internet by 2030.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, on November 09, 2020 announced an investment of $1.75 billion to help connect Canadians to high-speed Internet across the country, grow businesses, and create jobs. This investment will connect 98 per cent of Canadians across the country to high-speed Internet by 2026, with the goal of connecting all Canadians by 2030.

Announced originally in Budget 2019 as $1 billion, additional funding of $750 million for the Universal Broadband Fund will help advance projects with partners, like the Canada Infrastructure Bank, to connect Canadian households and businesses in underserved communities over the next six years.

High-Speed Internet
To make this possible, we’re building infrastructure across the country, especially in rural and remote communities. In places that are harder to reach, including remote areas and the North, we’ve reached an agreement with Telesat to improve connectivity and expand high-speed internet coverage.

Over the past five years, Canadian government has invested $6 billion in broadband and connected 1.2 million households to high-speed internet. What we’ve announced today builds on that work and is the largest one-time federal investment in broadband in our country’s history. For people working from home, for students taking online classes, and for business owners expanding their operations, this will make a real difference.
