Ensure high-quality, reliable, and affordable broadband services are available to every community in Alberta within three years.
An Alberta Party government would partner with major telecoms providers to bring a combination of fiber-optic & 5G internet to every under-served community in Alberta.
Only 12.7% per cent of communities in Alberta have service that meets target speeds set by the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission. An Alberta Party government will commit to ensuring every community in Alberta meets the CRTC target speeds.
Alberta Party MLAs will promote expedited work on the Provincial Broadband Strategy and push for an additional $250 million over three years.
Alberta Party MLAs such as Greg Clark and Karen McPherson were vocal about the need for rural broadband during the NDP government years. The NDP remained silent on this area until this election.
