Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank all the witnesses for being here today.
My first question will be for the representatives of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
We know that price increases were announced at the beginning of the year, which was widely reported in the press. They followed the Rogers/Shaw transaction, as you know.
When representatives of the major telecommunications companies come to see us, they point out forcefully that the fact that Canadians pay more for their cellular services than citizens of many other countries is a myth. We're often compared to the G7 countries and Australia. And yet, when we invite the CEOs of these companies to come and debunk the myth, they don't seem in a hurry to explain why Canadians don't pay so much after all. It's quite surprising. Why do you think they're not in a big hurry to come over here to meet us?
