Industry committee  Yes, for sure. Listen. The great thing about LEO is that it covers the entire country. We can serve a community today and we can move that capacity the very next day. So yes, although I'm not sure I totally follow the question, 100% it's a horses for courses type of approach for

Industry committee  It's a really big issue, and both Patricia and I have spent the substantial parts of our careers grappling at the international level trying to make all actors be responsible. At the end of the day, you're dealing with countries and sovereign governments. Some of them strictly fo

Industry committee  It's vital. The $18 billion that I mentioned which the FCC allocated to our two largest competitors.... They're already spending that money. We have many operators in the sector that are worried about all that capital destabilizing our industry to some extent. Our two largest com

Industry committee  I would say that 5G is a major part of our business investment thesis. As you say, 5G requires much more capacity to deliver the speeds that it promises to deliver, but you need to connect the towers. The towers have to be connected back to the Internet backbone with a big pipe.

Industry committee  Listen. We're living the dream right now where we continue to operate assets that we launched in some cases over a decade ago and are now bringing on this multi-billion dollar capability which in all likelihood will disrupt potentially some of the investments that we made before.

Industry committee  Thank you for your question. I'm going to answer in English. My French isn't good enough. I did speak about this a little bit. It's less an investment in Telesat or our project. It's more of a commitment to take a very low-cost capacity on the constellation that we'll make av

Industry committee  What needs to get done is that, right now, we're using the spectrum for all these different things that I've described. We've been using it for 50 years. In order for it to be made available for 5G, we have to literally clear the spectrum. That means taking all the users that are

Industry committee  We're going to move them to LEO. We're going to repack them on some of our other satellites. It's very expensive. It's very complicated, but we have a plan to get it done.

Industry committee  No, you go ahead, and then I'll follow.

Industry committee  We've been doing this for 50 years, carrying consumer traffic, government traffic and enterprise traffic. We've always taken that very seriously. We've hardened our systems both in terms of flying our satellites and with respect to all of the data that comes. The reality is that

Industry committee  Yes, I'll take that one. Basically, we're going to connect every tower on the edge of the network. Right now on the edge of the network—and you know this when you're driving on some remote highway in Canada—you don't have any cellphone coverage. Now all these towers can have a l

Industry committee  We have a deep understanding of the economics of delivering these services. We think that by delivering this very substantial, very low-cost pipe to our partners, we are going to give them the economics they need to be able to compete extremely effectively in all these remote com

Industry committee  Neither do we.

Industry committee  I'm a big believer that in order to provide Canadians with effective, modern, advanced telecommunications services, 5G has to get rolled out in Canada. Canada is a little behind some of the other major economies on this. One of the big barriers to that is scarcity of what's calle

Industry committee  Fibre is a fantastic technology for delivering high-input connectivity. The problem with fibre is, first, it's expensive to trench, deploy and maintain. Second, it tends to be single thread. You can run multiple fibres but now you've doubled your cost. You can close an economic c
