Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
If I understood what Mr. Van Kesteren said earlier, there will soon be wholesale prices for seniors, since the population is aging.
Mr. Proulx, you said that you were prevented from having access to 500 km of fibre optic cables in Prince Edward Island. Ms. Léger spoke earlier about a duopoly. Since we began hearing witnesses on deregulation, we have noted that two major players will decide who uses their lines or wiring. I think that the fact that you were not given access to the 500 km of fibre optics shows blatantly that you were not selected as a player to compete with them. So we will continue to say that deregulation is necessary, so that everyone can benefit from it.
Ms. MacDonald, a little earlier, you mentioned an amount between $25 and $29 for phone service, $55 for the Internet, and $79 for cell phone service. It will take some time for us to see competition in the larger centres, even in that price range.
As for people with disabilities, I think the proof is there that people will have no choice but to use the same service. In the health sector, some people with disabilities cannot use the Internet. That could be made possible if a voice-activated system were available, but I do not think we are there yet. We are monitoring development since the start of the hearings. Ms. Léger, you made a very eloquent presentation, and we support your remarks.
That leads me to my question: who will benefit from this deregulation?
