As an organization, we're entirely supportive of the notion of universal access and affordable access. If we can offer services at the same price in rural Canada as Canadians pay in urban Canada, that would be a fantastic accomplishment for the whole country. However, to the issue that has been at the foundation of the discussion today, that takes money. It costs a lot more to operate a service in rural Canada than it does in urban Canada.
