Evidently, we need to clearly define the rules. However, almost no one has taken full advantage of foreign ownership. Ms. Wood was saying that if we were to increase those numbers and open our market to foreign ownership, people would have to be interested in controlling companies using foreign capital.
You say that soon there will be nine players in the small field of Canadian telecommunications. Consequently, if the competition has financial weaknesses, it will crumble before long. Foreign companies that want control will want to control our companies. So, they will not found new companies, but rather buy existing ones. At some point, fewer players will remain in the game, and we will have to say goodbye to competition. So, I do not understand.
How can you be sure that, if you open the market completely to foreign interests, investors from abroad will actually invest, if only to gain as much control as possible over telecommunications, and eventually also over broadcasting?
