Mr. Speaker, the CRTC has done its best to stall competition in the direct to home satellite industry to the detriment of the industry, Canadian artists and the Canadian consumer. One can only speculate that its members were frustrated by the interference of the Liberal cabinet on behalf of its friends at Power Corp. That is probably why the CRTC did it, but last week the cabinet decided whether or not it would allow the CRTC to continue to hamper competition.
Did the cabinet decide last week? If it did, does it believe the CRTC is fulfilling its 1994 order to open up competition and what was the decision?
