Madam Speaker, I join my colleagues in tabling a petition bearing 94,000 names, nearly 3,000 of which are from my riding, asking the government to take the necessary steps to allow Québec Téléphone to be granted a broadcasting license.
Social and economic logic demands that the grandfathering Québec Téléphone was previously granted be now broadened to take into account modern technology. Preventing Québec Téléphone from keeping up with technology would significantly hamper Quebec's social and economic development.
