Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to thank Ms. McPherson.
I actually think the right way to say it would be “at the request of either party”. What you want to do is to allow one party, the weaker party in the negotiations, to have the right to do this. I think I support that.
I want to ask the department, in the context of these negotiations—and Mr. Chair, you can allow that question to go to them whenever you think it's appropriate based on the sequencing of the order—would there be any problem with allowing—presumably one side is going to be a weaker party here—that one side, the weaker state, to ask for the CRTC's intervention?
I cannot see a trade risk in doing it that way. I just want to check to make sure that the department also doesn't see that this would be a trade risk.
I think the right way to word it, if Ms. McPherson agrees with me, would be “may facilitate those negotiations at the request of either party to the negotiations”.
Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
