I've lived through different governments, whether I was at the CRTC or in business, always in the media business. I've seen the benefits of having one department in charge of both telecommunications and broadcasting at the time, and having one vision for the future.
As a matter of fact, the rest of the world came to see how it worked here and couldn't believe that we would have one regulatory authority, for example, for both telecom and broadcast when they had separate ones in most of the countries of the world, and the same thing at the level of the department. It's too bad that at some point that's been split—not because of the individuals involved at all; I'm talking about the vision of the government, the possibility to look ahead and have a coherent approach to all the issues that are coming up.
When we listed some of them that you've heard here during these hearings, we recognized easily that they all are interconnected, that they all have an impact, one on the other. To have different departments, different organizations taking care of these inevitably brings complexity, difficulties, and double approaches that are sometimes in conflict.
So we believe it's already complex enough. It's already going so fast that we need to have one department that will look at all these elements together.
