Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate that we have witnesses here and, with all due respect to them, they are not the ones this committee requested to appear.
Therefore, to avoid any further confusion or concerns, and in the interests of Canadians, I will move the following motion, which has been given due notice. It says:
That, in relation to the study on Accessibility and Affordability of Wireless and Broadband Services in Canada, the committee invite and, if this invitation is not accepted, summons, pursuant to Standing Order 108(1), the following to appear before the committee to answer questions and explain measures that are being taken: Tony Staffieri, President and CEO of Rogers Communications Inc.; Mirko Bibic, President and CEO of BCE Inc.; and Darren Entwistle, President and CEO of Telus Communications Inc.
I think the motion speaks for itself, but I believe that these witnesses have already been requested to appear by the committee—my understanding is on two separate occasions—and have not. I think it's appropriate to issue a summons for them to appear to answer questions on these extremely important matters of national interest to all Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
