Re: 'Should telecommunications be nationalized?' . Last week’s opinion piece in authored by Mark Hancock, national president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, contained inaccuracies concerning the recent restructuring at Bell, which need to be corrected.

Bell has invested billions of dollars in Canada’s communications networks and technology, including the deployment of pure fibre internet to more than 7.4 million locations from Manitoba to Newfoundland, and reaching 86 per cent of Canadians across the country with our 5G and 51 per cent of Canadians with our 5G+ wireless networks.
