Had CRTC’s proposed rates been in place seven years ago, there’s no way we could have built the strong networks that have carried us through this crisis

The global pandemic has reminded us that Canadians are resilient, resourceful and compassionate. Only time will allow us to fully appreciate the truly heroic work done by so many over the past months — the frontline workers in all sectors from health-care to food delivery, the teachers who prepared online lesson plans and the millions of people who transformed their homes into virtual offices to keep our economy running.

The demands on our networks have been extraordinary, and Shaw and Canada’s other network builders have met the challenge. We understand that when you are on an important video call with your office, your child’s teacher or your grandmother, there is no tolerance for anything less than a good connection.

This regulatory framework has helped Canada become one of the best-connected countries in the world, but unfortunately, a recent decision by the CRTC is putting all of this in jeopardy.
