I wanted to thank the chair for endorsing the view that the Liberals have been taking, which is absent here.
Mr. Intven, I don't want to belabour this, but regarding the last point about win-backs, if we have a situation such as the wild west, where only the deepest pockets survive—sorry, maybe it's the lawless east—is it possible in this kind of circumstances that only those...?
I understand you've written at great length about win-back programs and that there ought to be some regulatory oversight, again directed by the CRTC or the TCT, which is now absent in the minister's request. You said:
One justification for the win-back restrictions is that customers should be given an opportunity to try a competitor's service and judge the quality and reliability before being exposed to the incumbent's win-back efforts. In effect, the rules created a temporary protection for the new entrant against targeted marketing efforts by the ILEC.
Recognizing that we all want to have the situation where the customer benefits, would you not suggest that this condition should also be part of the minister's order, at least to ensure that all consumers benefit from this new-found open market, or just the few who happen to walk away from the ILEC?
