Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses.
Mr. Péladeau, I hope you have a sense of humour, in spite of the serious purpose of this committee. As a Quebecker, I am very happy and proud to see you and your company invest in another country. I think you know what I mean.
I have a number of questions, so I would like you to answer quickly. You are already a Rogers partner in Quebec and will become even more closely affiliated in western Canada. You have filed an $850‑million lawsuit against Rogers, which is currently before the courts.
I am also a businessman. Can you tell me how you can sue your partner and then enter into new agreements with it to develop other markets?
If you are suing Rogers, I guess it is because it has not met your expectations or needs in the past. Are you not somewhat apprehensive about the conditions under which the transaction with Rogers was made for the expansion of mobile services in the west, given the relationship you have had in Quebec?
I believe the lawsuit pertains to the business dealings you had with Rogers in Quebec.
How do you see this? It seems rather contradictory.
