  • Expand high-speed internet access to the remaining 4% of households;
  • Working with the federal government, develop a plan to address the lack of reliable and consistent cell phone coverage in the province;
  • Develop a plan to expand on Prince Edward Island’s success in the New England region, diversifying PEI’s export market to the New York and surrounding states
