When I was writing my petition to the Governor in Council, I read and reread the directions. I saw a document that struck a good balance between regulation and deregulation of market forces. I didn't see a direction that we deregulate blindly. From what I have been able to see, the CRTC is to all intents and purposes letting Bell Canada charge what it wants, on the pretext that the directions entitle it to do that. There is an interpretation problem, either on my part or on the part of the CRTC. Letting Bell impose usage-based billing and charge unjustified unpredictable rates for a regulated service makes no sense. There is a problem.
The direction says that where there needs to be regulation, it should be good. Where there needs to be regulation, it stays. Accordingly to the direction, there doesn't need to be regulation anywhere. But in fact it is needed here and there. And the direction recognizes that. If it is poorly written or if it allows for a bad interpretation, however, there is a problem. The CRTC has interpreted it badly.
