Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My questions will be for the Competition Bureau.
You've demonstrated in a transparent way, both in action and in words, that you believe this merger will be bad for consumers. You've talked about the extensive investigation you undertook that led you to that conclusion.
What I would be interested in hearing about from you today in terms of that investigation is what you believe the impact will be on rural communities in Canada. Specifically, how will this merger impact rural communities in terms of competition, service, choice and even equitable access to service?
