Mr. Speaker, the minister may not understand how important the spectrum auction is to our economy and society but Canadians do. Sixty thousand people signed OpenMedia's letter to the minister calling for a set aside of spectrum for smaller companies. Instead, the minister chose to ignore consumers and new entrants, forcing Canadians to pay higher prices for poor service, especially in rural areas.
It is like a bad TV commercial. Consumers ask, “Can you hear me now”, but the minister never listens.
When will the minister finally listen to the needs of Canadians?
