Information & Ethics committee  We don't throttle. We don't do deep packet inspection. We do none of that stuff. The broad answer is no. I think Chris Seidl from the CRTC said in his comments that they'd received 19 complaints. This is an issue without a country. I'll just go right there. In 2005, 13 years ago

Information & Ethics committee  I don't remember it. Could you repeat it?

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you. I remember now. I was interested in your question for a very strange reason: it brought me back to the almost 10 years I spent at the CRTC as a policy analyst. Dennis's comments reminded me of it too. First, the general issue of the promotion of Canadian content is an

Information & Ethics committee  Since I started it, I suppose—

Information & Ethics committee  My point here is simply that the thrust of our presentation—outside of a very critical piece of it, which is health and what net neutrality means for delivering very critical social services—was that net neutrality isn't an issue in Canada. It just isn't. It has been enshrined in

Information & Ethics committee  Thanks for that. The point, then, I guess.... Let's look at this a bit objectively. Vidéotron bought 700 megahertz and 2,500 megahertz outside the province of Quebec. It never deployed it. It bought it at subsidized prices. It's a Canadian public resource that is owned by all tax

Information & Ethics committee  I thought this is where debates happened.

Information & Ethics committee  I would say that in 99.99999% of the cases, that is what happens. There aren't a lot of cases of this kind of stuff. However, there might be, theoretically—and probably actually—an example or two over a couple of decades of what are termed “exigent circumstances”, when certain th

Information & Ethics committee  I don't think I really have anything to add to what Pam has said, other than that you raise an interesting point that was brought up by Professor Geist when he appeared in December. To the extent that a theoretical harm could occur, it's not really a telecom regulation issue, but

Information & Ethics committee  The way I address this kind of stuff.... It's a very good question, sir. The answer is in the field of “I'll know it when I see it”. Are health applications a reasonable prioritization, or if a hospital district wants to do remote home monitoring, is that a reasonable thing to g

Information & Ethics committee  We have not been in discussions with foreign carriers about this at all. Perhaps I misinterpreted it, but I believe Mr. Seidl was referring to the fact that the CRTC is in communication with other regulators internationally. We have had no discussions on a company-to-company basi

Information & Ethics committee  We've done some analysis. We don't view this as some sort of existential threat. We believe that the Internet is based on a dynamic technology that undoubtedly has changed the way we do business and communicate with each other globally as a global network. Its whole value, both o

Information & Ethics committee  That's a Telus submission on the DPP?

Information & Ethics committee  In the context of the DPP proceeding, we were looking not at that.... The core of our business is providing connectivity to people to access the legal content of their choice. In the context of the statement that you just quoted, we were thinking not in the sense that you posed

Information & Ethics committee  Yes. We felt that this was a legitimate practice, and the regulatory regime should not prohibit, ex ante, offering consumers discounts or cheaper prices for services as a static rule. That was where we were.
