Description
Summary:This working paper explores a history of policy change in Canada’s federal “Connecting Canadians” agenda. It focuses on the Information Highway Applications Branch of Industry Canada and its First Nations SchoolNet (FNS) program. The policy change in question culminated in 2002, when the FNS program devolved to a model of Regional Management Organizations (RMO). This paper explores why the change occurred, and emphasizes how it reflects broader trends in Canada’s federal connectivity policy for rural and remote First Nations communities.
