Thank you, Madam Chair.

First, I would like to apologize to the interpreters. Unfortunately, I have to work from my iPad and the audio is not the best.

Mr. Péladeau, thank you for joining us. When your competitor Bell Canada became aware of the CRTC decision in August 2019 to cap rates, the company threatened to reduce its investments by 20%, especially in rural areas. As you know, my constituency of Montmagny—L’Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup is in an area served in part by your company.

Did you also decide to reduce your expansion plans when you learned of the CRTC decision?
