Thank you.
The Telecommunications Act was defined as a national priority because control over Canada's telecommunications sector, satellites, cable, and broadcast was considered essential for national sovereignty.
The government has made it very clear that it's looking to bring in foreign competition. We're now looking at changes to satellite phones and so on. We're dealing with a vertically integrated market, so your ISPs or your telephone servers who run your radio stations are tied into your newspapers and television.
My question is simple. Given the fact that we are creating a precedent, do you believe that Canada should still maintain Canadian control and Canadian sovereignty over our broadcast and media industries?
