Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I'm happy to have a chance to speak to the ministers this morning.
I have one little comment, Mr. Bains, on the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction and its build back better plan. We lost that bid for the Security Council seat. Maybe now we could be concentrating on what is needed for Canadians and concentrate on that. Again, going back into the black-hole-of-government approach has not been helping us.
One comment that was made by Ms. Lambropoulos had to do with the discussions that had taken place and the lobbying efforts. Minister Bains, what information did you rely on to issue the government's order in council from August, effectively calling into question the CRTC's decision in 2019 on final wholesale access rates that would have substantially slashed the rates that consumers pay for Internet service?
The reason I'm asking for that information is that the CRTC spent six years arriving at its decision. It reviewed thousands of briefs. We know from the lobbyist registry data that there were more than 200 lobbying interactions from large telecom players leading up to the issuance of your order in council. What information did you rely on?
