Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I want you to know how much the Bloc Québécois respects your business. You, your associates and partners are well established in Canadian communities.
I'm going to start by citing an example from the world of sport. We're pleased that a new team is being established in Ontario, provided the Montreal Canadiens continue to be a top performing team. In this entire Nortel-Ericsson transaction—and you are a player... I quite like the conclusion of your presentation this morning, where you say this: “[...] I believe that the Minister of Industry should initiate a four-way discussion among the government, Nortel, Ericsson and RIM.”
Ericsson is solidly established in Montreal, Nortel in Ottawa and you in Waterloo and Toronto. What is the basis for your conclusion that you could offer the other parties full cooperation and perhaps come to an equitable solution for everyone?
