SARM is eager to see high-speed broadband in 98 per cent of the country by 2026, and 100 per cent by 2030, including rural Saskatchewan. SARM is also pleased with the proposed investment of $1.9 billion (over four years) to recapitalize the National Trade Corridors Fund. This funding could attract approximately $2.7 billion from private and other public sector partners, resulting in total investments of $4.6 billion and spurring investments in much-needed enhancements to our roads, rail, and shipping routes, building long-term resilience for the Canadian economy, and supporting internal trade.
