Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. French and panel, for attending today's session.
Minister Bernier has had an interesting record with the CRTC in the past year, to say the least. He has called on the CRTC to reverse some major decisions on voice-over-Internet protocol. He has proposed an executive direction to the CRTC. He has introduced a bill replacing the CRTC's proactive power. He has also proposed a cabinet order that would lead to premature deregulation of the local telephone service.
I'm not asking you, Mr. French, to comment with your opinion on it, but in comparison to that of previous ministers, how would this activity relate in terms of their interaction with the CRTC to this current situation?
