Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to bring attention back to a notion, for Ms. Shanahan's benefit, among others. In the sacrosanct Canadian Constitution, section 91 stipulates that all areas whose responsibilities were not divided up in 1867, which of course includes Internet and telephone services, will be covered by the federal government. So 100% of these services fall under federal responsibility.
The reason some provinces, notably Quebec, intervened in this issue is because they felt the federal government was taking too long. That's the case in many areas. I think the current government needs to take a good look at some of the areas where it's taking far too long to act, such as employment insurance and seniors' pensions. It's about time the federal government got its act together.
This brings me to affordability, which is very important to me. On this subject, I'd like to ask the CRTC representatives some questions.
At the beginning of the year, Minister Champagne mandated you to look at the level of competition between the various Internet service providers. I believe you had until June to hold consultations. Can you tell us what the situation is?
