While this suggestion is outside the scope of this committee's discussions and, we concede, has to do specifically with broadcasting matters that are the responsibility of another parliamentary committee, we wish to point out, however, that it is in line with the proposal made in the afterword of the 2006 report of the Telecommunications Policy Review Panel.
Canada is already fortunate to have a single regulatory body, the CRTC, which has a mandate to oversee both the telecommunications and the broadcasting sectors. It is time to work together on a global policy for the entire communications sector in Canada, perhaps even under the leadership of a unified communications department.
Thank you for your time. We would now be happy to answer your questions.
