When Globalive came before us, it stated at the time that it had received Industry Canada approval and wanted to obtain ours. It wanted to be interconnected with the other telephone companies. Of course, if a telecommunications company cannot have interconnection, then it is useless. It is essential to have the right to interconnect and, to do so, the company must be controlled by Canadians. Globalive appeared before us to state that it wanted to purchase spectrum licences, that it had obtained authorization from Industry Canada, and that it was now seeking ours.
I would like to point out that we wrote to the company in December 2008 to ask it to contact us at the same time as it was contacting Industry Canada. That way, both of our organizations could have worked together to make a decision, have discussions [Inaudible—Editor]. Globalive chose not to do so. It first obtained consent from Industry Canada, and then came to us at the last minute. That was its choice. I believe that a period of eight months elapsed between these two events. It was the company's decision.
