When making a decision, my responsibility is to make a decision based on the overall public interest. I certainly took into account the issues of competition, and that's why there are conditions in the approval on price monitoring. There are conditions to make sure that any changes to pricing and any adjustments that are unjustified will be flagged, and we are going to work with the sector on making sure that we increase competition post-COVID. Right now we are focused on doing what is best for Canadians and for Canadian jobs.
