However, a number of hurdles still remain, including the greenlight from the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Economic Development.Rogers and Shaw said they had agreed to extend the timing of the deal to July 31, 2022, to allow for continued engagement with the Competition Bureau.

Ottawa pledged to block the full transfer of Shaw’s wireless licences to Rogers, and the House of Commons industry and technology committee said earlier this year that Rogers’ bid for Shaw should not go ahead. If it does, the committee said the government should place conditions on the deal. Rogers and Shaw have expressed confidence that the rest of the deal will be approved.
