Mr. Chair, first of all, I would like to note that under section 12 of the Telecommunications Act, Parliament provided to the Governor in Council the authority to vary decisions by the CRTC. In this particular case, the Governor in Council chose to vary this decision of the CRTC based on a very careful examination of the facts and a rigorous application of the Canadian ownership and control requirements. The test for Canadian ownership and control comprises both legal requirements and a factual requirement.
Perhaps it would be helpful if I turned to my colleague Madame Lévesque to explain what those requirements are and how they are applied.
