Good afternoon, everyone.
I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 113 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders. In addition, pursuant to the motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, and the motion adopted on Monday, February 5, 2024, the committee is resuming its study on the accessibility and affordability of wireless and broadband services in Canada.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the witnesses joining us by videoconference today.
From BCE Inc., we have Robert Malcolmson, executive vice-president and chief legal and regulatory officer, and Mark Graham, vice-president of legal and regulatory affairs.
From Rogers Communications Inc., we have Phil Hartling, president of wireless; and from Telus Communications Inc., we have Doug French, executive vice-president and chief financial officer.
Also, before anything else, I wish to apologize to our witnesses for the delay. There was a vote in the House, which explains why we're starting a little later than planned.
Before turning to the opening statements, I recognize MP Davies for a point of order.
