Industry committee  So that's the CRTC's decision and that's the way it is proceeding. We are examining our other programs. I would suspect that we are not going to use the same criteria in other programs.

Industry committee  And again, we are very sensitive to the issue of the small service providers and we've been talking to them and consulting them on how to move forward.

Industry committee  I'll do my best. Maybe I'll just go to the top first and then let some of my colleagues help me out. Overall, in terms of the main estimates, $8.6 billion is identified for the department and portfolio; $2.9 billion is for the Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Devel

Industry committee  It is about promoting economic development in the north and building capacity around R and D in that particular area, which of course has special challenges in the north.

Industry committee  You identified WD as well. In budget 2019, $100 million of new money was announced for WD, and their increase in the main estimates relates to two things: that $100 million of additional funding as well as, I believe, $44 million that was set aside for Churchill and the initiativ

Industry committee  You raised the National Research Council. I believe the increase in the main estimates relates specifically to IRAP and the increases in the funding in budget 2018.

Industry committee  SSHRC, again, I think was in budget 2018, and the government made very significant investments relating to fundamental science. There's an increase related to SSHRC in that regard.

Industry committee  The issue with FedDev Ontario was that basically their funding had come to an end. In budget 2018 and budget 2019 that was replenished, and therefore the main estimates reflect that re-establishment of their funding.

Industry committee  Yes, I'm happy to stay for the second hour.

Public Accounts committee  Again, trying to be concrete, when we did the 600 megahertz spectrum auction, part of the information that we've received from these consultations leads us to decide to do a 40 megahertz set-aside. So, it is ongoing, but we actually use the information in the application of our

Public Accounts committee  There's a timing issue. We ultimately did what they raised, although when they looked at our design, they had questions about it.

Public Accounts committee  Ultimately when we delivered it, I think we did our best to address that particular issue.

Public Accounts committee  Yes, the design phase, when we were looking at how to do the program. Then when we actually delivered it, this is how we did it.

Public Accounts committee  Is that reasonably clear?

Public Accounts committee  Mr. Chair, I mentioned earlier that we had gone out and consulted small ISP providers. The short story is that these are exactly the issues we're consulting them on and trying to figure out the best way of moving forward.
