Let me ask you, then, about the potential now for large win-back schemes. You talked about the $120 to break your service contract through Telus, as an example. If I'm a company that's well endowed--I may be a cable company or a telephone company--and I use my ability knowing full well that the smaller competitor, such as Mr. Proulx next to you, finds himself at some disadvantage, and I know the names of these customers, how likely is it that we're going to be able to maintain a semblance of competition without these first fragile moves being protected, as was done in the era of long distance? How likely is it that these win-back programs are going to benefit everybody?
The ministry presented the argument that these win-back programs, among other things, were going to be a boon to consumers. We've been assured by advocates of that position who have said “Well, you know, if I have a deal from one particular company to win back my services, they're going to tell everybody on the street”. In fact, we've heard that it can be the contrary.
Do you think win-backs are a good thing to enhance the competitive process in lieu of using the existing framework to develop sufficient time to create competition in the local telephone market?
