Thank you, Mr. Keating.
I'd like to come back to Project Fox, because there are some interesting aspects to it that are worth pointing out. One thing that opponents of this merger are doing is local campaigns with their MPs. They're also campaigning with the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry to scuttle the deal.
They are also trying to provoke a sense of alienation among activists by using phrases like “scuttle the deal” and “postpone the ruling”.
Oh, and while we're at it, could we review the Competition Act? That's just a coincidence. Might we also encourage third-party acquisitions, as Mr. Lacavera suggests in particular by promoting the NoMerger.ca initiative on his Twitter account to urge the public to oppose the merger? OpenMedia is kind of doing the same thing by urging the public to write to Minister François‑Philippe Champagne.
My question to Ms. Bednar and Dr. Quaid is this: What do you think of these strategies, which supposedly involve Canadians but are commissioned by a business for lobbying purposes? Is it truly an independent process?
