Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Briefly, I think it's important to recognize that when we had the witnesses before us, they all identified that there needed to be some changes to the Telecommunications Act and some new direction, and I think we all recognize that. However, there seems to be a lot at stake in terms of what those changes could be. We haven't really seen an expressed position from the minister, so for that reason and because we don't have any legislation before this committee, I think this is a very reasonable request and is something we can actually do.
Setting a date as well I think is a reasonable assurance to the government that we're actually going to follow through with a deadline. The expectation is there for the committee, but with no legislation tabled with this committee, and given that we want to focus on the manufacturing and we can seemingly fall into this with a deadline in the winter session, I think it's something we can actually do something very positive about.
Once again, there are so many different positions out there about what to do and how far to go, I think it would be worthwhile to finish the job. I think everybody recognizes that there need to be some changes, and I think we can do that through this committee.
