Thank you, Mr. Malcolmson, for being here and for being in the hot seat, as we would say.
If you feel some passion and emotion on this issue, it's because all the members on this committee feel very strongly about the lack of service in rural Canada. If you're getting a lot of emotion here, it's for good reason. We hear from our constituents and our constituents are very concerned about this.
I want to deal with a couple of your recommendations, specifically around the combination of funds. Has Bell received or made any kind of application as it relates to the Infrastructure Bank and its fund?
