Industry committee  That's helpful. We have an Internet service co-operative in my riding and it would be wonderful if they could bid on cellphones to provide it to that county, as opposed to having to do the province or the country. That's what I'd like to get to. You mentioned in your opening com

Industry committee  I appreciate that. One of the things about your appointment as minister is that you are under infrastructure. I think it's really important to put Internet and cellphone service as infrastructure instead of as service and I wanted to thank you for that. The first Internet as a

Industry committee  Thank you, Ms. Jordan, for being here for this. This is a very important issue we're discussing. I know we've talked about the Internet an awful lot, but I think cellphones are really what we're trying to get to here. I'll continue with Brian's point for a bit. How do we get sma

Industry committee  I appreciate that.

Industry committee  Whatever happened with the motion last year—I looked at the record and I wasn't there for it—we are under a directive of the House. I think it's incumbent upon us to act seriously on it. To Michael's comments before, I have a large rural riding that's quite a bit bigger than Wel

Industry committee  It has to be guided in the right direction. If furthering competition is the main objective, but there is no access to the service, we have accomplished nothing. Zero is still zero. We can't support competition until there are at least two service providers. Even if there were o

Industry committee  There are steps before we reach the 100% target; we are aiming for 90% by 2022, and 95% by 2026. The last segment of 5% by 2030 will probably be the most difficult to attain. Is that correct?

Industry committee  Fine. Thank you for working so hard on this file, Mr. Amos. I will give the minute I have left to Mr. Longfield.

Industry committee  Thank you, Mr. Amos, for guiding us in the right direction on the matter of cellular services. At 7:00 a.m. this morning I took part in an interview with Ghislain Plourde, from CIME FM, to discuss your motion. I think it's extremely important. Since our meeting in the beginnin

Industry committee  Should we be looking for regulatory solutions, and not just financial ones? We will not have access to the paging system either after June 30. It will no longer exist. We will no longer be able to call our first responders to have them respond to emergencies on the ground. This

Industry committee  I move that we approve and report back the supplementary estimates (B) at this time.

Industry committee  The reason I want to ask about all this is to tie it back to a rising movement, especially in the U.S., called right to repair. I'm sure you're familiar with that as well. You're aware of the John Deere case. Are there any comments on that and how we can tie that into copyright,

Industry committee  I had a couple of questions going back to the beginning, so it's less exciting.

Industry committee  That's enough for this. Mr. Chisick, you mentioned at the very beginning that you are certified to practice copyright law, specifically. Just out of curiosity, who certifies lawyers to practice copyright law?

Industry committee  Okay. That's what I was curious about. Do we have 10 seconds to get into...? No, we don't have 10 seconds. Thank you.
