Mr. Speaker, I believe the member knows that the CRTC is in the process of examining issues related to the affordability of telephone services.
I think this is a very important question. One of the objectives of our information highway policy was that all Canadians should have affordable access to telephone services. But I think the member also knows that some very important changes are taking place in the telecommunications sector. There are new services, using advanced technology, and all Canadians would like to receive them.
