I appreciate that.

Mr. Péladeau, in the past your company has made commitments when it has acquired spectrum licences to expand and create a cellphone business in western Canada, but in fact you've sold more than 100 of those licences for over $300 million in profit.

I know you made a lot of promises at the tribunal, but we're a little skeptical. Like with your past promises to the government, you may not do it this time.

Will you agree to be bound by the business plan you have tabled with the Competition Tribunal or lose all of Freedom's spectrum licences?
