I want to be fair to the minister as he's been active on a bunch of files, but I was a bit distraught when he said that basically the CRTC is in an independent position, almost like it's appointed by somebody else or some other independent body. At the end of the day, we set the terms and conditions, even how the CRTC operates and appointing the person that has to respond back to Parliament. I'm just not buying that it's completely independent. Once you appoint the person, there is influence.
