Career in the Private Sector Nate Glubish worked for a number of investment firms, working to bring investment to Albertan tech companies.

A responsibility that carried over from Service Canada to Technology and Innovation was rural broadband internet development.

"We've recently announced more than $70-million of that going towards over 50 communities serving over 10,000 new homes and that is just scratching the surface of the work we're about to do."
