"It's really disconcerting when we don't know the financial situation of the airline, and there was no voice for Nunavut in these negotiations. The unfair thing about this is Nunavut is the biggest customer for Canadian North." - @SenDPatterson

Many thanks to @SenatorHousakos and the #TRCM com he chairs for giving me the opportunity to present my bill, which aims to get much needed spectrum deployed to the benefit of rural communities throughout Canada. @SenatorJimQuinn @DonnaDasko @SenatorClement @mivillej @Paulatics
My friend and colleague Senator Patterson has long been an advocate for better internet access for northern and rural communities in Canada. Timely discussion in #TRCM committee today about the CBC announcing it's moving entirely online. WATCH:

What happens if a government doesn’t bring an act of Parliament into force, either in whole or in part? CSG @SenDPatterson reminds us of the original intent of the Statutes Repeal Act & invites his Senate colleagues to ensure the will of Parliament is respected

In Nunavut, everyday is a reminder of the strength, resilience and ingenuity of Inuit. Their story needs to be known more widely throughout Canada.
Thankful to my colleagues in the @csg_gsc for their recognition of today.
