Mrs. Bertrand, I would have liked to hear your opinion.
I think there is a great deal to be done when it comes to the upcoming spectrum auctions. It is important to make broadband spectrum available in telecommunications.
That brings me to another very important debate in telecommunications—the deregulation of foreign investments in digital economy planning.
Overall, some thought should be given to the spectrum allocation process. That is what we are calling for in the area of digital economy. As our colleague Mr. Lavoie said, we want this to be given due consideration. We want questions to be asked and answers to be provided. We also want Canada to adopt a digital economy strategy that would include telecommunications, information technologies, applications, and software and equipment development.
I think that all those factors should be taken into consideration in the development of a digital economy strategy. Those factors include all the technologies in our society that would enable Canada to reclaim its position as a global leader. That is what we are currently missing.
