It is a privilege to be among so many broadcasters who provide an essential service to Canadians. Since we last met three years ago, you ensured that your stations remained on air during periods of great uncertainty, you maintained a strong presence in your local communities, and you remained committed to broadcasting informative and engaging – and in some cases life-saving – content throughout.
We are gathering here at an important time for competition – a moment of significant opportunity and collaboration that we must seize. More and more Canadians from all corners are recognizing the important role of competition and speaking up for more competition. I want to talk about some of the priorities that I am laser focused on right now, day in and day out to make sure competition is working for all Canadians.
Madame Speaker, it is my pleasure to appear before you and all Senators to discuss Bill C-30 – the Cost of Living Relief Act – which would deliver targeted tax relief to the Canadians who need it most by doubling the Goods and Services Tax Credit for six months.
Mr. Chair, it is my pleasure to appear before you and Members of the committee to discuss Bill C-30—the Cost of Living Relief Act—which would deliver targeted tax relief to the Canadians who need it most by doubling the Goods and Services Tax Credit for six months.

Unwanted calls, which often are fraudulent in nature, seek to not only take advantage of Canadians, but also undermine their confidence in the telecommunications system. One of our priorities over the last few years has been to better protect Canadians and prevent as many of these calls from reaching them as possible.

CCSA members face competition and have shown remarkable resiliency throughout periods of transformative change. Standing still has never been an option—particularly during the last 30 years.
Today’s event builds on Bureau interest in interdisciplinary topics. For example, in recent years we have explored the links between competition and intellectual property, competition and privacy, and competition and gender. This helps us look at policy issues in a new light, while connecting with experts from different backgrounds. It enriches our understanding and fosters innovation.
