Industry committee  I've expanded on some of it. I'll go over some of that again. Let me know if there's any aspect of it that's especially unclear. For our Competition Bureau complaint, the issue specifically is that Bell and Rogers have for years inflated wholesale rates before the CRTC, keeping

Industry committee  The way to look at it is that it is to their benefit to delay, because as long as they delay, they maintain the status quo, so I do think that's part of the strategy. Their flanker brands undercutting us is explicitly part of their strategy. They say so in financial statements. T

Industry committee  Yes, I would just add that there are a number of piecemeal initiatives to lower prices, which are good for the outcomes that they have. I'm thinking about the minister's commitment to lower mobile prices by 25%, and the connecting families initiative is another good example. Thes

Industry committee  I think there are some updates that could be made to make it more effective, which TekSavvy has argued for in an ongoing proceeding.

Industry committee  Are you asking what the wholesale rate ought to be, or what our retail pricing—

Industry committee  There are a couple different things going on here. Just to be clear, the wholesale rate set at the CRTC is the price at which companies such as TekSavvy buy incumbent services. That's a rate that incumbents propose and the CRTC approves, often after some adjustments. There's a lo

Industry committee  No, we don't think that there is. When the decision came out in August 2019, the incumbents appealed it three different ways. The government petition has been shut down. They lost in the federal court of appeal process. Now they're appealing that to the Supreme Court, but we'll

Industry committee  The Governor in Council's decision did not overturn the rates. I want to acknowledge that. They said that this is already before the CRTC and they should take care of it. In that sense, that's a good thing, but it also made a comment that the rates may not in all cases have achie

Industry committee  I would say it's a technical issue. Read the CRTC's decision on costing. They're the experts. Just look at the public version of TekSavvy's complaint to the Competition Bureau, which details how we arrive at our pricing and how it is then impossible for us to compete, really, wit

Industry committee  TekSavvy has also applied to SWIFT, and they awarded some SWIFT funds for network builds, including at an indigenous community on a reserve at Moraviantown and other places in Chatham-Kent through connect to innovate, as well as for fixed wireless services. And, of course, the ne

Industry committee  The short answer is that I think the CRTC has the tools it needs to do this. It has the authority to regulate in these areas and could make decisions more quickly. I imagine it is operational challenges that prevent doing so. I don't think that major systemic change is required

Industry committee  I think the CRTC has all the evidence in front of them to make a decision. They spent three years deliberating about it and arrived at a decision in August 2019. I think that when they do the same thing in a review—which is not about policy goals of how much Bell or other compani

Industry committee  Thank you.

Industry committee  No. I think the premise of your question is right. These are essentially the same economics at play and the same policy goals. We're trying to introduce competition on networks that do require investment. Wholesale-based service-level competition is a proven way to do that on bro

Industry committee  Can I clarify something? Do you mean increased cost from competitors or overall in the Internet services?
