Industry committee  Most definitely. We are reaching out to those groups, whether they're indigenous groups, diverse groups or new immigrant groups representing multilingual communities, to see how they can contribute to our system. Essentially, we are reaching out on all different fronts.

Industry committee  The CRTC remains at the forefront of ensuring that all Canadians can receive and access affordable and high‑quality telephone services. We have our broadband systems and plans. We're working on continuing to roll out various services. Our public hearings a few weeks ago focused on access to fibre optic services and the access system.

Industry committee  With respect to the policy directive, there are certainly a number of different points that were highlighted on that front, primarily with respect to ensuring Canadians have continued access to reliable, affordable, high-quality networks. Various areas were highlighted: Paying close attention to the MVNO regime and ensuring that all of the components, whether it's roaming or access to the networks, are functioning properly.

Industry committee  Often it's much longer than a mile. That's the challenge in our country, but it's essentially that last mile that we're certainly looking at expanding. We've already expanded to fibre-based services. We've adjusted the rates downwards. We held a hearing a couple of weeks ago on that very subject matter, so clearly we're working hard on that front.

Industry committee  We had additional resources to implement Bill C‑11 and Bill C‑18, on news content. It's been an enormous amount of work. Our new president and we are prioritizing these major files, and we're putting all our efforts behind implementing these bills. If we're talking about Bill C‑11, I think it was enacted in April.

Industry committee  That's the case so far, yes. We held a hearing at the end of the year on the major dossiers, but we've already issued three specific decisions, and we'll soon be issuing a fourth.

Industry committee  The major projects planned so far mainly concern issues for which we made specific decisions that are already in force. These issues include fees and registration. That way, we have a clear picture of the players doing business in the country. Our hearing at the end of 2023 focused on two things.

Industry committee  We're working on it. There will be an initial decision, which will provide two things. First, it will add grist to the mill in the form of contributions. Second, we'll be outlining the types of contribution that new players must make to our industry. We'll then work with all the players to ensure that the contributions are fair, and that everyone—

Industry committee  Some will be made soon, in the coming months. That's the next step. We're currently working on the definition of “Canadian content.” We're also meeting with all the industry players to get a clear picture of this component and to make sure that the money will be invested in the right place, and that the grist will be added to the right mill.

Industry committee  Essentially, of the three, as far as I am aware, certainly Quebecor is the most active on that front. They've made deals with both Rogers and Bell on that front.

Industry committee  Well, we essentially set the terms and conditions for that regime last May or April. As early as late June, we arbitrated the first deal between Rogers and Vidéotron—

Industry committee  —and again, we arbitrated an additional deal with respect to Bell and Quebecor at that point in time.

Industry committee  As you know, there is a legislative framework and laws in this country—

Industry committee  —so yes, our role essentially is to make sure we act quickly and we have robust decisions that are put in place to—

Industry committee  Quite frankly, there is a legislative framework and a legal framework that the companies are using. That is at their disposal on that front. What we've been doing is put the regime in place, and we've acted quickly and we've acted robustly to make sure that everything we can do is put in place.
