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.

?The 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,? Saganash
said in an April 23 news release.
.
?This is the second time that this
Conservative government is trying to
eliminate the CAP although Canadians
have come to its defense,? said Guy
Caron, the NDP critic on industry.
?Across the country, New Democrats know
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.?
.
?Statistics 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,?
Saganash said.
