Industry committee  Obviously, security is first and foremost. As we roll out 5G, we are going to ensure that we have the best network. That includes having top security and ensuring that people aren't able to listen in, as you've described, in those manners.

Industry committee  From our vantage point, we can't detect and determine all calls without.... You'd have to listen to a call, and we're not listening to anyone's calls. We are using the latest technology and we're able to identify a large subset of fraudulent calls. We confirm that those are fra

Industry committee  I believe we do, in terms of.... I just want to be clear. That's a bit different—

Industry committee  That is correct.

Industry committee  Yes. I'm not quite sure what you would be benchmarking in terms of how you would judge the standards. I guess I'd put it this way. We want to be the best at providing service to our customers, and customers are annoyed by these calls, as well as scammed. Therefore, I think it's

Industry committee  I also agree. We actively work not just with our Canadian counterparts but with U.S. carriers. We sit on forums with them. We try to exchange. We've done some experiments to learn from them. However, in terms of getting to the source, that's really at a government level.

Industry committee  I have the same answer.

Industry committee  No, that's not correct. I've talked about the devices for the end-user, but in our network, which is what you're asking about, our actual switches themselves have to be upgraded to be able to handle that. We're in the process of doing that with all of our vendors, so not all of o

Industry committee  It would not be the only thing. I'm trying to avoid getting more technical or into more things. There are many other things.

Industry committee  I totally agree with everything that was just said. I realize it's dangerous here because we're getting technical and so on. All three of us did an excellent job of explaining that for a non-technical person. I think the message you're hearing from all three of us today is tha

Industry committee  The CRTC has to do a public process. I don't want to be laying this as criticism. We applied. We're going through the process and we're waiting for the decision. Comments just closed. The reason they have to do all that is we are making decisions based on the content of the cal

Industry committee  I agree with that. From our perspective, when we look at our trial, our intention is to sign agreements to share the details with big players and small players. It is very clear that, if we get permission, we will be blocking calls, regardless of where they're going on our netw

Industry committee  We actually proposed to the CRTC that there be a firm deadline of June 2022. We think it will be worked out before then. Just to be clear, we're still planning on launching it in September. I guess what we're trying to say is that in the rush.... There's lots of talk, as you've

Industry committee  Are you talking about in terms of a Bell website? I honestly don't know the answer. I'm sure we have it in both official languages, but I don't know, so I'll have to take that one away and get back to you on that.

Industry committee  Good afternoon, Madam Chair. My name is Jonathan Daniels. I am Bell Canada's vice-president of regulatory law. It is my pleasure to be here today to share with you the steps we have taken and continue to take in an effort to combat nuisance and fraudulent calling. We are stron
