My question is for Mr. Grisdale. With the selling of spectrum under the previous government, the key priority was to set aside spectrum to try to promote the emergence of new players to create more competition in the mobile phone and spectrum market. I'm thinking of groups like WIND Mobile, for example. The other priority was to maximize the revenues for the Government of Canada.
We've seen billions of dollars raised for spectrum on the one hand, yet the government, on the other hand, is subsidizing increased broadband connectivity for rural areas.
Therefore, my question for you is this. In your opinion, can spectrum be auctioned in a way that would promote rural capacity? In your opinion, would the benefits of increased coverage as a result of perhaps accepting lower upfront payments for spectrum outweigh the savings from cutting the subsidies for broadband connectivity?
