I do appreciate that 5G is a huge undertaking. That doesn't respond to my question, though.

I have 30 seconds left, so I will ask my last question.

The Competition Bureau has said, “Where the Big 3 face a wireless [competitor], prices are significantly lower.” It has gone on to say, “Wireless disruptors offer the most promising path forward. They drive lower prices, greater choice and increased levels of innovation in Canada”.

If the Competition Bureau says the deal can go through but that, at a minimum, you have to spin off your wireless business, is it still a deal you're going to move forward with?
