We had a great subcommittee meeting. Obviously it was in camera, so I won't speak to the conversation, but the subcommittee report we did is public. It includes a very substantive study that Mr. Lemire put forward originally and that we agreed to commence with. It also included point 5 here, which includes all of the CEOs of all of the companies, including Telus. We already have agreed to ensure that we would bring forward the CEOs to question them on cellphone bills. I'm looking at point 5 in the subcommittee report that came back to this, which had consensus. I also understand, based on our current committee schedule, that we have dates and times to make sure those meetings happen.
The way I feel about this is that it seems that Mr. Williams is just trying to push up something that's going to happen anyway, that we already agreed to. I don't see the rationale for that when we've already come to consensus on this. We've all agreed it's an important topic. We've all agreed there are concerns around cellphone price increases that are planned by Rogers and/or others. We also can get more acquainted with the facts, because there is lots of other information we need to look at. There is a whole spectrum of other issues we can talk about, but all of those are already included in the subcommittee report and its motion.
From my understanding, we agreed that meetings would start as early as February 26 on this topic. Mr. Williams' motion, I believe, just bumps it up and is now calling to have those meetings about a week or 10 days earlier.
What's the rationale for that? Why would this committee need to bump that up by two weeks or 19 days when we've already agreed to do it in due course? We agreed with that.
We also have other studies that we've talked about. We've had that conversation together and agreed. We came to consensus.
This seems like it blows up the consensus we had. We had a very constructive conversation to achieve consensus, and I thought we had a way forward, and now we have a motion that tries to bump this study up by 10 days. What is the rationale for that? I can't understand it.
Please, someone clarify that for me. Maybe Mr. Williams can clarify what the rationale is.
