Sure. The answer at the back is easy. It will help Canadians.
Let me explain. Retail-minus has been used in a number of places by the CRTC before. Our recommendation was that the CRTC use it to set interim rates. Remember that when the CRTC sets a rate, they have to do a long study and they have to figure everything out, but in the meantime, they know they're going there, so they set a rate in the meantime and, as said, in the words of the chair of the CRTC the last time this committee met on that topic, eventually everybody is made whole and we just need an interim rate in the meantime.
By setting it at retail-minus, by setting the retail-minus at 50% or 30% or something, it's very easy to set that rate and make it a rate that competitors can use to offer competitive services, unlike today, where not enough attention is spent on that rate. Instead, sometimes the interim rate is even more expensive than retail. For example, companies like the members of CNOC obviously cannot go ahead and create a competitive service and pay more for the service than a customer would in their own retail environment.
