Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. French, why did the CRTC not choose to fully follow the guideline, or the position, of the minister and not allow full competition, as the minister recommended? Why did you, instead, retain the progressive rule of 25% of the market? Under section 34 of the Telecommunications Act, are you required to adopt regulations when there is no competition, or for any other reason?
