Minister François-Philippe Champagne previously urged Canada’s major wireless providers to work out a deal on their own

in which all three telecoms would build the network together, as has been done in other Canadian cities. But the companies have yet to come to an agreement, and have since roped Canada’s telecom regulator into the process.

If the companies do not reach a deal in that time, they would be required to go to commercial arbitration, with a limit of 70 days to conclude that process. The department is now seeking comments on the consultation process, including over what entity should be responsible for final arbitration. The initial comment period will end Aug. 8, and then respondents will have a further 15 days to provide additional feedback.
