Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, Mr. Minister, for being here. It's wonderful to have you here in person to clarify the government's direction in this very important sector.
As you know, I come from Oshawa. In Oshawa we're very competitive. We have the auto industry; we have a great hockey town; and I have to tell you, with the services we have now in the telecommunications sector, we have wonderful competition. I've got to tell you that when I go back home and talk to my friends, a great many of them are no longer with the former monopolies. I just wanted to know your opinion.
I like this idea of the competition. Are these win-back restrictions widespread in other countries or is Canada alone in imposing them on these incumbents? I think we want to see this open up to have better benefits for the local consumers.
