Industry committee  I can't really say. We don't make forecasts for revenues in spectrum auctions. I mean—

Industry committee  Is there an auction in particular that you're looking for?

Industry committee  Yes, I think that's a fair forecast. The 600-megahertz auction that I referred to earlier was in early 2019, and the government collected $3.4 billion in revenue from that auction.

Industry committee  Yes. We do interval checks at five years, 10 years, 15 years and 20 years. All along, we will do checks when the licences are up for renewal, and before that at five, 10 and 15 years.

Industry committee  Yes, it's the first milestone. We call them milestones. The first milestone is at five years.

Industry committee  Thank you for the question. As I told Mr. Masse earlier, the deadline for registering for the auction was yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, we published the names of the companies that applied to participate in the June auction. Shaw isn't one of them. So, the issue is resolved.

Industry committee  The company didn't ask to participate.

Industry committee  I can tell you that rules define which parties, in merger cases, are eligible and which parties are considered independent. The affiliated parties can't participate independently.

Industry committee  Yes. Thank you. It's not a simple question, but I'll try to provide a simple answer, Madam Chair. Essentially, what the minister would look at in the context of a merger would be spectrum that is being transferred from one party to the other and spectrum concentration in the di

Industry committee  The application deadline for participants was yesterday at noon. We published yesterday, in late afternoon, the names of those that have applied to participate in the upcoming auction. We actually have 24 participants. This is 50% more participants than in our previous spectrum a

Industry committee  Shaw did not apply.

Industry committee  I think that's fair to say.

Industry committee  I think it's important to understand that the Competition Bureau is independent and its decisions are arrived at independently. I think Mr. Boswell has laid that out. The Minister of Innovation is looking at the spectrum concentration and the transfer of spectrum licences. When

Industry committee  Thank you for the question. No, this is not normal. When we do spectrum auctions, we impose deployment conditions. For example, in the auction that's coming up in two months, there will be deployment conditions attached to the award of the licences. We check after five, 10, 15,
