There are two issues. The first is deciding when we can forbear. The test that's been proposed by the minister and the Competition Bureau is if there is existing competition, then we can let markets take place.
You're asking whether there is a reason for the government to be involved in regions where there is no competition and no broadband access. I think that's a legitimate question to ask. We should look at the costs and benefits, and there may be some intriguing ways to do that.
I come from Alberta, where the provincial government went out of their way to award a contact for the SuperNet to Bell to wire up all local towns in the province. Once they got that wire connection to each town, all of a sudden there were a whole bunch of wireless providers with antennae out there who could feed into that wire. It created competition between Telus and Bell, and it was a wonderful program.
