As Commissioner of the Competition Bureau, I was the champion of competition. I looked at everything from a competitive point of view. My role was to spear competition, whereas my role as Chairman of the CRTC is to administer telecommunication systems and to develop regulations. One of our main objectives is to deregulate to the furthest extent possible. In the area of telecommunications, we must make sure that there is access, and interconnection. I do not see any contradiction between these two roles.
