The Competition Bureau has asked the Federal Court of Appeal to set aside a decision by the Competition Tribunal last week dismissing its case against Rogers's proposed $26-billion acquisition of Shaw.

The Canadian PressRogers and Shaw apps are pictured on a cellphone. The Competition Bureau has asked the Federal Court of Appeal to set aside a decision by the Competition Tribunal last week dismissing its case against Rogers's proposed $26-billion acquisition of Shaw.The federal competition regulator says the tribunal made a mistake in how it assessed the deal, alleging that the tribunal made fundamental errors of law.

In its ruling last week, the tribunal said the merger was not likely to result in higher prices for wireless customers and that it was satisfied the plan to sell Freedom Mobile was adequate to ensure competition isn't substantially reduced.The bureau says the Federal Court of Appeal has issued a temporary suspension of the tribunal decision until the regulator's application for a stay and an injunction can be heard.

The timing for a hearing of the bureau's appeal hasn't yet been decided, Competition Bureau spokesperson Jayme Albert said in an email to CBC News on Tuesday.

 

Merci pour votre commentaire. Votre commentaire sera publié après examen.

When Rogers had its COUNTRY WIDE outage last year, at least we had our Shaw home phone if we had a medical emergency. I am strongly against this merger.

So now Canada will have even less competition. Way to go FP_Champagne

Good

We live in a country of monopolies.
