Thank you, Chair.
Mr. Chair, this is a very important discussion and an important motion brought by Mr. Perkins.
Canadians may not be aware that Rogers, Bell and Telus are not just ordinary Canadian companies. They are sort of protected and have been coddled for a long time. People may not know that, under Canadian law, any telecom company that has a market share of more than 10% has to have 80% Canadian ownership and 80% Canadian board members.
In 2012, the then government amended that so that telecom companies with less than 10% market share can have increased foreign ownership. That still left Rogers, Bell and Telus in control of this market, and Canadians are getting squeezed.
We have heard about pricing, but let me talk about the technical quality. We are in the capital of a G7 country, and here, my service provider has one bar.
