Thank you, Mr. Chair.

And thank you all for being here and bringing us your thoughts.

I would like to ask and learn more about CANARIE. I'm wondering, Mr. Roche, if you could first of all confirm for us what we heard from Bernard Lord when he was here. He's the president of the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association. He was saying that about 97% of the Canadian population is covered by 3G or faster. He also asserted that we have more of the fastest networks in Canada than any other country in the world. Is that a correct statement, from your point of view and your experience?
