Thank you very much. Internet neutrality is an important question and an issue for both Internet users and all Canadians.
A free market has served the Internet well, which is not regulated, as you know. Through the free play of market forces, innovation has allowed Canadians to take advantage of the Internet. At the present time, we want to ensure that consumers have access to the Internet and the market is competitive. We are currently reviewing possible regulation of the Internet infrastructure. If memory serves me, that is one of the recommendations made by the expert panel with respect to network neutrality. I am quite familiar with the concerns expressed by both industry players and Canadians with respect to that decision.
What will the government's position be on network neutrality? It would be premature to tell you what recommendation I will be making on that. The Internet is evolving very rapidly. There is a need to be cautious before introducing regulations. As is the case for other aspects of the Internet, I do not want to adversely affect innovation but would like to continue to look closely at this and, if there is a need, take action at the appropriate time.
