Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses.
Mr. Lord, on your comment that cellphones are not dropped, it certainly doesn't work in my area. Driving from my office to Charlottetown, I'll be dropped twice on all major networks. I've tried all three: Bell, Telus, and Rogers. I tried Xplornet on the Internet. There are a lot of areas in this country where we just do not have the service.
I will say, Mr. Chair, I'm glad the committee is looking at the service.
First, to Ms. Middleton, you said that Canada doesn't have a national strategy, and I think that's what we need to look at first. What's the government's responsibility in terms of moving forward? How do we stack up against the rest of the world in terms of that?
