Thank you very much.
It's good to hear the testimony here this morning. This is sort of the end of our discussion of this acquisition, but of course this is where the other three groups will be starting the work that is required. I think with the discussions we've had here, there should be some alarm bells sounding as far as Canadians are concerned. We've heard that the proposed merger agreement will be of no benefit to Canadians: It will reduce competition, raise prices, lessen innovation and lower services to rural communities. We also heard from a rural mayor yesterday that the merger will do nothing to reduce the gap between urban and rural broadband services and that we need more competition, not less. We need legislation to ensure that there's a backbone network so that the smaller players can hook up to it. Of course, I heard the testimony this morning saying, well, it's inappropriate to comment on things that have been said because...until it comes to your table.
To the CRTC, you said there's a notice of consultation that you will be dealing with. Will your organization be reaching out to those voices that we have heard at this committee so that you can hear what they have to say? If not, will the commentary that we have heard at the industry committee be something that you will base any of your discussions on?
