Mr. Speaker, the CRTC's decision has been widely discussed, even in the media. For the benefit of the Leader of the Opposition, I may add that newspapers as diverse as the Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star gave substantially the same advice.
The Toronto Star reads: Ottawa should endorse the panel's report without hesitation and instruct the CRTC to move quickly to let the competition begin''. In the <em>Globe and Mail</em> we have similar advice:The government acted in the public interest by creating the review panel, which did its work well''.
Mr. Speaker, considering the position taken by daily newspapers as diverse as the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail , perhaps the Leader of the Opposition would consider agreeing with the government's policy.
