We're coming out of suspension.
We'd like to welcome our new panel of witnesses. This is our ninth meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology. We're here pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) to study Canada's foreign ownership rules and regulations in the telecommunications sector.
I welcome all of you. We have representatives from three different companies here in front of us today. From Bell Canada, we have Mr. Bibic. From MTS Allstream, Mr. Peirce, and from TELUS Communications, Mr. Hennessy. Welcome to all three of you.
We'll begin with an opening statement from Bell Canada.
