Perhaps I'll go first, and I'm sure my colleagues will jump in.
You heard statements from the panel before that no one is suggesting deregulation for the rural markets, but I think this direction is. This direction was built on a direction that was contained in the telecom policy review report, and that draft direction in the report said “deregulate unless there's significant market power”. Those words were deleted from this direction, so this direction does not provide any guidance to the CRTC whatsoever on the need to continue to regulate in those rural areas where there is no competition.
One can presume that they're going to look at this thing through the lens of logic, but that is how they're regulating today. This direction is telling them to change the way they're regulating. This direction removes the words “significant market power”, and as Mr. Mayrand explained in his opening remarks, that is a state of affairs that I think will increase uncertainty and provide less clarity than the current state of affairs.
