In a letter to CRTC chairwoman and CEO Vicky Eatrides on Thursday, Champagne asked the federal telecommunications regulator to look into rising roaming fees, saying the CRTC plays an important role in promoting affordability and empowering consumers to make informed decisions.
Earlier this month, Telus and Bell both raised their U.S. and international roaming rates. Telus customers must now pay $14 daily to roam in the U.S., up from $12, while those visiting other destinations are charged $16, marking a $1 increase. "For anybody that does international travel that doesn't have a plan that encompasses long distance calling between the U.S. and Canada, that's a big hit."
"Increases to these types of ancillary fees add to the cost of a consumer's bill beyond the main sticker price," he said in his letter.
