Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon and welcome to the committee.

I will get straight to the point of the issue that concerns me. In 2009, the CRTC released telecom regulatory policy CRTC 2009-657. This policy pertained to Internet traffic management and its main purpose was to prevent congestion. However, we are being told that user-based billing also strives to prevent congestion.

Does that mean that your 2009 regulatory policy was ineffective? Is the network currently experiencing this absolutely terrifying congestion?
