Former industry minister Navdeep Bains gets Rogers job, sparking criticism

Rogers announced several new appointments to its executive leadership team on Thursday, including Bains and a former Shaw executive.

Bains served in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet as federal industry minister from 2015 until early 2021, and chose not to run for re-election that year. Klass testified before MPs on the House of Commons industry committee about last summer's Rogers outage, where he called for better regulation of the telecom industry.

The Rogers-Shaw merger was first proposed in March 2021, after Bains left the industry minister role. It was approved last month by current Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne with a set of conditions.Earlier this year, John Manley was named the chair of the board of directors for Telus. According to the act, an elected official is not permitted to engage in lobbying activities for five years after leaving public office.
