Thank you for the question, Mrs. Thomas.
I will refrain from offering an opinion on that question.
What I would say is that when we bring forward a bill like this, there is careful consideration given within the department but also in consultation with our colleagues in the machinery of government about how to structure the regulatory powers that are laid out in any piece of legislation.
You know that there are legislative questions and policy decisions that the government is asking Parliament to consider. In terms of the calibration of the regime and to make sure that the regime can evolve as technology evolves and as these companies evolve, there are certain calibrations that are given to the Governor in Council.
As you likely know, there are certain regulatory decisions that are being left up to the CRTC in terms of the fine tooth. It's always a question of the proximity to the fine details on the ground—they are something that we consider—and who is the most appropriate to make that decision. It is a common occurrence to have the Governor in Council set certain broad regulatory decisions, such as those being proposed in this bill.
