Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will be sharing my time with my colleagues, but I do have a question for Professor Middleton.
I believe it is 8 o'clock in the morning in Australia. Thank you for staying with us throughout these couple of hours.
Compared to some of our international counterparts, Canadian consumers seem to pay higher than average costs for broadband Internet access. I believe it was the CEO of Netflix who offered this famously referred to quotation, “It's almost a human rights violation what they're charging for Internet in Canada.”
In your opinion, is the cost to consumers a symptom of a lack of real competition in the wireless markets? Have government policies done enough to encourage competition and drive down costs for consumers?
