Please believe me, thank you.
We have to remove the legislative protections that protect those firms against external competition. I know there are people who will say, “Oh, my goodness” to that. I'm unionized, by the way, at the university, and I hear union colleagues saying, “Oh, my goodness, if they come in, we're going to create massive unemployment.” I don't believe it. I lived through Balcerowicz, when he did the cold shock therapy of 1993 to 1995 and Poland was destitute, impoverished and bankrupt. For 24 months they went through a deep recession, and then Poland took off. No other country, the IMF has evaluated, has been as successful in the post-Communist era as Poland, and they adopted all the pro-market reforms we're talking about.
We have to open it up. I don't believe there will be mass unemployment. The new entrants will employ the Canadians who are laid off by Bell or Rogers—that's great—or the other industries that are opened up. It would create growth and create productivity, not unemployment, if we open them up and remove the legislative prohibitions against foreign firms coming in. Let Verizon come into Canada.
