        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6662206\" data-originallang=\"en\">Within the SWIFT program, we don't prioritize any given communities. We do run an open and competitive procurement process. Effectively, the ISPs bid on the areas that make sense to them to build in with the subsidy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6662207\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We don't give priority to one community over another. We are very intentional in that. We let the market drive us to where the solution will be, noting that we don't have enough money to solve 100% of the problem. If we had the money to solve it all, it would be a very different, targeted approach.</p>",

Par contre, nous tenons un processus d'approvisionnement ouvert et concurrentiel. Effectivement, les FSI pr\u00e9sentent des propositions pour les secteurs o\u00f9 ils jugent que c'est rentable de travailler avec la subvention.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6662207\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous n'accordons pas de priorit\u00e9 \u00e0 une collectivit\u00e9 plut\u00f4t qu'\u00e0 une autre. C'est tout \u00e0 fait d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9 de notre part. Nous laissons le march\u00e9 jouer et nous indiquer \u00e0 quel endroit se trouve la solution, puisque de toute mani\u00e8re nous ne disposons pas de fonds suffisants pour r\u00e9gler le probl\u00e8me \u00e0 100 %.
