Thank you, Madam Chair.
My questions are for Minister Bains.
Mr. Bains, thank you for being here today to answer our questions.
As you know, the committee is studying the accessibility and affordability of broadband connectivity and wireless Internet service. On the issue of affordability, you clearly stated that Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada intended to lower the rates for cell phone service by 25%. That is excellent news because Canadians pay the highest rates for cell phone service in the world.
Could you provide some detail on how you measure progress in that area? Could you also tell us about the tools the department uses to promote affordability?
