Mr. Van Kesteren, I think you have half the story right. This is a point my colleagues, when I spoke with them, were asking me to encourage you, as members of the committee, to remember. Our fundamental recommendations were, first, to let the market work where it does—and in most cases it will: telecom markets work better in a less regulated environment. But there are some cases where they don't. Interconnection is a classic example. It would be possible for a large telecom carrier in some areas to prohibit or deny interconnection to other telephone companies or service providers wanting to interconnect with it. In that case, we don't think the free market would work properly; you would want some regulatory oversight in situations like that.
I use that just as an example. There are some areas of consumer protection that would probably warrant some protection as well.
The goal is, as I think we said, that Canada needs to move more quickly to deregulate in areas where the market will work, but in the few areas where it won't, then use smarter, more targeted, less interventionist techniques to achieve the remaining policy goals.
