I would agree that spectrum is a valuable commodity, and I would ask that as you look at that valuable commodity that's out there to realize that there are some advantages to having a set-aside for perhaps a small amount of unlicensed area, as well to allow for innovation. Certainly from a public safety perspective, having the availability for public safety communications interoperability is an important aspect of this as we look at critical infrastructure resilience. But I'd also look at some of the innovation that's happening around white spaces and think of those next generation radios, the intelligent radios, that are able to use spectrum in a very smart way and reach out to different communities. And I'd look to opportunities to explore those regions for that next wave of innovation here in Canada.
