We will call the 48th meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology to order.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are here today continuing our study on the deregulation of the telecommunications sector.
We have three sessions—two half-hour ones and an hour session to finish up.
Members, we do have to be in the House by 5:45, so we will do our best to keep everything on time.
Our first witness today—for half an hour—is from SaskTel, Mr. John Meldrum, vice-president, corporate counsel and regulatory affairs.
Since we are limited in time, Mr. Meldrum, let's go right to your opening statement of up to five minutes, and then we will go to questions from members.
Welcome.
