Information & Ethics committee  Under our regulations, the traffic management practices adopted by ISPs have to be transparent. They have to publish information about these practices on their website and in various consumer publications. On our own website, we provide information about net neutrality, as well

Information & Ethics committee  The number of complaints is decreasing every year. I think providers will want to offer competitive services that are of the best quality possible. They do not want there to be any control of content or traffic. Increasing competition might in fact lead to a reduction in complain

Information & Ethics committee  Absolutely. That is another reason we decided that all communities in Canada must have access to quality service. We decided that universal service for all Canadians, a landline and a wireless network, is a necessity in all homes and in the streets, for safety reasons and all oth

Information & Ethics committee  I know the government is planning to launch a review of both the Broadcasting Act and the Telecommunications Act, and there'll be an opportunity to look at changes to them. I think the government has been very active in modifying the Telecommunications Act over the years. In pa

Information & Ethics committee  Yes.

Information & Ethics committee  When we looked at the differential pricing, some proponents were suggesting that we should prefer Canadian content over other content. We gave the view that doing that might advance some of the objectives in the Broadcasting Act, but on balance we felt that it wasn't an appropria

Information & Ethics committee  In supporting Canadian content, there are many vehicles out there.

If some of the smaller new start-ups can't penetrate the U.S. markets because the ISPs put rules in place that block or impede their success, you might see them come to Canada or to other countries that have a strong net neutrality regime and try to gain a strongho

Information & Ethics committee  Those forums are really to share information and not really to advocate one way or another. I think having strong net neutrality rules.... I've heard from other jurisdictions that they actually look to Canada's rules and try to model them. I think having strong rules that provide

Information & Ethics committee  Absolutely. We would like to see competition with providers that create their own networks. That would improve services in Canada. If there is not enough competition in Canada, we can implement wholesale services. We have opened the network of other suppliers to give consumers mo

Information & Ethics committee  No, it would not be free. There are very complex mechanisms for determining the appropriate cost of network access. In our terminology, we call it phase 2 of the costing process. It is a mechanism that enables us to estimate the costs associated with the network, including a pro

Information & Ethics committee  In 2016, we decided that all Canadians should have home access to high-quality Internet service at a speed of at least 50 megabytes per second. We decided that a fund must be established to enable providers to extend their networks and offer services in remote regions. We are in

Information & Ethics committee  The quantity of data on our networks and the number of applications increase every year. Providers keep expanding their networks and offering more services. We cannot control access to content. We have to continue investing in networks so that Canadians have more choices.

Information & Ethics committee  That has come up when we discussed the net neutrality, the idea that you'll get the ISPs choosing the content that is best for you. You can even take it to an extreme. If you charge a lot of money for some content and give other content away for free, people will gravitate to the
