It's a rather broad statement and question, but let me just make a couple of comments.
Nortel had 100,000 employees back in 2000. The market gap was more than $250 million. It was in a tailspin at the end of 2005, down to 32,000 to 33,000 employees. I can just tell you the work ethic, the supports, the excitement from the population over the last three years have been second to none. Many of us were on a mission to have one of the great turnarounds in business. It was all based on people; most of the promotions were inside the company. We really thought we'd be able to take four or five years of going backwards to create a company for the future.
We made some big investments, many of which were in Ottawa, on fourth-generation wireless, unified communications.... You can just go through the Ottawa.... So this was not playing defence, because we knew that if that trend from 2005 had continued, this business would have been bankrupt a number of years ago. We thought we were there in the middle of 2008.
Things changed. I can tell you with the same commitment and passion that this will not be a long-term outcome. I'm certain of that. The reason I'm here is because I think I can make a difference, taking the company through this stage. A big part of the efforts we're driving are to preserve the greatest numbers of jobs, which I think we are doing a good job of at this time, and that will be proven over the next number of months.
