Sorry, I can't agree. It should be subject to no different regulations than its peer group.
Should the guy pumping my gas at
Petro-Canada have to offer English or French service? Should Petro-Canada be forced to have installations in certain cities?
If I call
Sprint Canada to order home phone service, should every agent be forced to speak English and French? Should Sprint have been forced to provide service to unprofitable communities?
If I go to
Sleep Country Canada should the same apply? Why buy a mattress anywhere else?
