Mr. Speaker, we have a very coherent telecommunications policy.
The hon. member knows that in the joint submission to the CRTC on the issue of convergence last year, we set out the framework for a competitive, Canadian telecommunications industry. We are looking forward to responding to the CRTC report on convergence in the near future.
With respect to foreign ownership which was in the preamble to the hon. member's question, I would like to point out to him something which I think is very important. Canada has had one of the most open and liberal foreign ownership regimes in telecommunications of all countries in the world. We wait with impatience for some other countries to actually deliver on their promises of reciprocity which they have made so often.
