Industry Minister Tony Clement told a University of Alberta audience yesterday that "We asked (the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) to review their decision, and if they come back with the same decision the cabinet would overrule it because it wouldn’t be consistent with government policy...promoting competition and choice." Clement added that "You can’t have competition and choice if you allow a major carrier to force its business model onto an independent service provider."
