NUNATSIAQ NEWS

Romeo Saganash, the MP for Nunavik, and a member of the New Democratic
Party, says the Conservatives should reverse their decision to eliminate
the Community Access Program, which provides free access to broadband
Internet to low-income Canadians living in remote areas, including many
communities in Nunavut.

nunavut_community_internet_access/

=93The elimination of the CAP is all the more absurd as it comes as the
Conservatives call for unemployed Canadians use the internet to receive
their benefits and find work,=94 Saganash said in an April 23 news release.

=93This is the second time that this Conservative government is trying to
eliminate the CAP although Canadians have come to its defense,=94 said Guy
Caron, the NDP critic on industry. =93Across the country, New Democrats kno=
w
communities need the services offered by the CAP and want the Conservative
government to reinstate the $2 million [cut] so libraries, community
centers and schools stay connected.=94

=93Statistics Canada research shows that nearly half of Canadians earning $
30,000 or less per year did not have Internet access at home. The CAP is
useful to find work, get ready for school or communicate with [others in]
the community,=94 Saganash said.
