Thank you, Mr. Chair.
You speak about there being a high level of competition in markets. In urban Canada, you're quite right. Ridings such as the one I represent in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia aren't so fortunate. We've heard from a number of witnesses that in fact the decision of the government in overturning the CRTC decision and the changes in their approach to forbearance and win-back could in fact reduce the capacity for future competition to develop in some of the smaller markets.
In recommendation 8-1(b) you recommend immediately commencing “a program to ensure that affordable and reliable broadband services are available in all regions of Canada, including urban, rural and remote areas, by 2010 at the latest”. How would you see that being rolled out? There's been no discussion on it from the government, but how would you see it being implemented?
