Pre- budget consultations.  Go ahead -- tell them about your project.  
No need to reply to everything.

Question #2: The Government of Canada is on track to return to balanced 
budgets over the medium term. However, we will be flexible and pragmatic 
in our efforts in order to secure strong economic growth and job 
creation. Are there any cost-neutral or low-cost measures the Government 
can introduce in order to further solidify our economic recovery and 
position Canada to compete and prosper over the long-term?

My response:  Economic growth in the 21st century cannot occur without 
21st century tools.  Many Canadians still don't have the access to new 
technologies or they don't have the knowledge to use them effectively.  
A program to support community driven access and education initiatives 
across the country would help ensure prosperity is both deep and wide 
throughout the country.  Over the years, this kind of initiative has 
created jobs and brought new businesses to many areas at very little 
cost. See stories "The road we travelled; Our communities' voyage to the 
future on the ICT highway."
