Petition text

WHEREAS the Coalition Avenir Québec promised to extend cellular coverage to rural regions by 2026;

WHEREAS the MRC Pontiac remains excluded from current provincial plans; 

WHEREAS municipalities in western Pontiac and other municipalities  experience frequent outages during which fibre-optic and landline networks fail, preventing access to emergency services; 

WHEREAS the lack of cellular coverage has contributed to serious incidents, including deaths, and cross-border roaming sometimes redirects emergency calls to Ontario, causing delays; 

WHEREAS reliable cellular service is essential for public safety, quality of life, and economic development; 

WHEREAS Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission frameworks provide for roaming agreements and infrastructure sharing, and  as Opération couverture cellulaire does not guarantee full coverage in the MRC Pontiac; 

We, the undersigned, ask the Government of Québec to:

 

  • include the MRC Pontiac in expansion plans with a timeline and public progress reports;
  • prioritize local infrastructure to prevent cross-border delays;
  • require mandatory and reasonable roaming agreements in underserved areas;
  • deploy temporary solutions during major outages;
  • maintain priority for emergency services;
  • ensure reliable coverage throughout the MRC Pontiac.
