Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Obviously, we'll be supporting this subamendment. I would, however, like to remind the committee that this is a complex issue. The media told us that fees would increase. In light of that, our committee will need to study a number of structural issues. Telecommunications infrastructure is now indispensable. We need it to be able to work. It's no longer an optional part of our lives.
I'd like to refer to the notice of motion tabled by my colleague Mr. Lemire, which indicated the need to conduct a more in-depth study on connectivity, resiliency and competition. We know that the legislation to amend the Competition Act is quite advanced. Such a study would allow us to see what's happening hin that industry in terms of mergers, acquisitions and costs.
Naturally, we support the proposal before us, but it doesn't change the fact that the committee will need to undertake a meaningful and in‑depth look at the telecommunications issue. I invite the committee to move in that direction.
