Thank you so much.
I'm going to pose what I hope will be a catch-all summary question to anyone who wants to answer. Some concerns that have been raised to me by local ISPs in my riding are along the lines that we have an overinflation of wholesale costs. Then apparently the big telcos have been providing Internet services at rates that undercut their own wholesale rates. Local ISPs feel that basically what they're trying to do is destroy competition. One independent ISP, TekSavvy, actually filed a formal complaint with the Competition Bureau detailing how large carriers have deviated from CRTC costing rules to grossly inflate wholesale rates for competitors, while at the same time offering retail prices below the wholesale costs. If someone could comment on that, that would be great.
I guess the question I have is this: Would the implementation of the August 2019 wholesale rates in a quick and effective manner solve this, and how do we get to the bottom of this? Could you comment on whether you believe the large telcos are trying to literally destroy competition? Furthermore, is implementing the August 2019 decision the answer to this?
That's for whoever wants to take it.
