The committee heard witnesses and formed a view. A number of them related to prospective proceedings. We don't deal with things in theory or hypothetically; we deal with those as they come. But the fundamental view, that there's not enough benefit, I disagree with. It is fundamentally a horizontal merger on the broadcasting side. The parties did not compete directly with one another, so the issues were largely related to how to ensure that independent news, independent broadcasters, would be successful, along with measures to protect programmers because of the increased size and market power of Rogers, protections for local news and so on, and we did address those.
