I don't know that I agree that it takes two years to get access to our infrastructure. I will say, particularly in the province of Quebec, of the requests for pole access we get, 70% come from Quebec.
Just to give you some context, last year we had requests for access to 100,000 poles in the province of Quebec. Many of those poles are owned or used jointly between Bell, Hydro-Québec and Telus. It's a difficult issue to confront to ensure you respect safety standards—because the poles carry electricity—and ensure that the integrity of the poles is maintained when people seek access. We have heard the complaints about pole access and we've proactively dealt with it.
If you permit me, I'll take you through it.
We established what came to be known as a coordination table with the Government of Quebec, Hydro-Québec, Bell and Telus. In response to the complaints about the speed of pole access, we implemented a number of changes. We permitted third parties to do what's called “make-ready” work on the poles.
