Had that scenario been possible, we would have been concerned. Imagine an American company becoming the owner of Telesat Canada and imagine a strong demand in the United States for additional satellite space as a result of HD or 3D. Had we wanted to occupy all of Telesat Canada's satellite space, Canadian users such as Bell ExpressVu or Shaw—we are not Telesat Canada clients, but they are—could have been squeezed out because the Americans would have been willing to pay five or ten times what we currently pay to Bell ExpressVu, which in turn pays Telesat Canada, for satellite access. Theoretically, we might have risked losing the ability to continue distributing our signals by satellite.
Section 28 of the act has not changed and it continues to protect us in that regard. If there was a problem of this nature and Telesat Canada did run out of space, the CRTC could even go so far as to ask Telesat Canada to cancel contracts with foreign companies to make room for Canadian companies needing the space. Provided there is no further danger of this scenario playing out, we have no objection to what Telesat Canada has just said.
