Although, he's a backbencher, so his influence is unfortunately limited. Funny thing, I was once investigating a slow DSL speed issue for him, and determined that there were problems with the line on Bell's end. MPs, it seem, don't get better service from Bell than anybody else.

Although, he's a backbencher, so his influence is >unfortunately limited. He never replied to my emails in the past. He takes his riding for granted since west island is never going to vote Bloc. In last election, NDP and Green were ahead of Reform in this riding. How come he wasn't on parliament hill on the day of the protest ? How come Baril started off stating that he couldn't speak for the party ? What would have been good is if the MP had stated that he would personally get in touch with the CRTC and follow the process to ensure that the CRTC takes a good decision. And to say that this is a "public" inquiry is exagerating a bit. There are to be no public hearings. There can only be one day communications from public/CAIP to the CRTC document database. (Bell has its internal contacts so it gets two way communications with the CRTC).

And he was on Parliament Hill on the day of the protest, just not at the protest itself. Now, why wasn't he at the protest? Is it because he actually doesn't care about the issue? Maybe. Or maybe his time was taken up by issues raised by some of his 100,000 other constituents.
