It's tempting to want to leave it with the CRTC, because they are the natural regulator in this area. I don't believe they have the statutory authority at the moment. Perhaps the committee could consider that. However, the difficulty is that most of the funding comes through the federal government, where it should rightly be from, because when you're building things you want that to be taxpayer money and be accountable to the voters.
Without a national broadband plan, it's hard to know where to cut that off. That's why we suggested a neutral third party to at least temporarily be a broadband czar and get the whole house in order, and then perhaps we should think about legislation to formally give it to the CRTC.
