Industry committee  Thank you, Tony. Let me add to that on two points. First, let's take affordability, which is so important, as Tony has said. Something that we're bringing to the table that did not exist before in western Canada is something we call Connected for Success. It has two key elements

Industry committee  Thank you, Joe and MP Dreeshen. Let's start with what will happen as we begin to build connectivity and capability into rural, indigenous and remote communities. It begins with a design-build engineering capability. Following quickly behind are permanent, high-paying jobs to ru

Industry committee  Thank you, Joe. Let me add that this is on top of what we were already doing prior to the announcement of the combination, in partnership with SWIFT, with EORN, the Eastern Ontario Regional Network, which was announced just over a week ago, and then over a billion dollars that w

Industry committee  Absolutely. As a Calgarian, MP Dreeshen, just south of you, this is incredibly important to me. The billion dollars we've committed is part and parcel of being a telecom company where building is at the heart of what we do. We design, we build, we operate, we invest and maintain

Industry committee  Well, we wouldn't make that leap. I think you're connecting a variety of things that we would not connect together. For example, you can buy an unlimited wireless plan for $75. In fact, during promotional periods, it's substantially less, and that's available to any Canadian who

Industry committee  For an unlimited wireless package, and if you move toward what we've done on the wire-line side....

Industry committee  We have plans that are much less expensive than that but still have large buckets where you can do almost anything. Again, usage in Canada averages three gigabytes on the wireless side, and so packages of 10 offer you threefold. You can buy three gigabyte packages at substantial

Industry committee  We've already done it. Over the last several years, our fees have dropped by that much. As well, on the wire-line side, if you're in one of these communities that is in need, you can buy services from Rogers at $10 a month for unlimited connectivity on—

Industry committee  We have reduced it by the amount I just said.

Industry committee  I can't tell you exactly off the top of my head, I'm afraid, what's happening with our cost structure. It is obviously up, but a precise answer wouldn't happen today. Let me just address your first comment, if I could.

Industry committee  Yes. We've also removed our guidance for the year that tells what we think is going to happen.

Industry committee  We've seen success, frankly, in several jurisdictions across the country. We've had success in B.C. and in Ontario as well, but it's a complicated process where they don't typically work as well together, so there's a lot of room to improve.

Industry committee  It's exactly the same. Very much, the deployment of telecom is a very physical business. You're ripping up roads and you're attaching towers, and all of that activity takes licensing, permitting and a whole bunch of processes through not just municipal authorities but others as w

Industry committee  We do, and we have cut our costs dramatically for wireless or fixed wireless, obviously on the mobile network, such that those charges are down substantially in bigger buckets of 50 gigabits. We recognize this issue. For example, as I mentioned in my opening remarks, we've offer

Industry committee  Yes, it's exactly the same for Rogers. Obviously, we'll play that by ear as we see what's happening in the environment around the pandemic and of course with the economy.
