Thanks, Chair.
Thanks to the witnesses for being here today.
What spurred this study on was that Rogers announced a seven-to-nine dollar increase for customers who were rolling off contract, and the Conservatives jumped on this as an opportunity to claim that cellphone prices were increasing when we know from Stats Canada—and with your testimony today it has been corroborated—that those prices on average are actually decreasing.
What is useful to me in this conversation is to be informed by facts and evidence. I want to ask each one of the witnesses if they would table for the committee information that backs up the claim they've made today, which is that their basic plans are decreasing in price.
Mr. Staffieri, would you table documents with this committee that demonstrate a year-over-year downward trend in the prices for your plans from 10 gigabytes to 60 gigabytes over the last five to seven years?
