The minister has previously said that, if he were to approve the transfer, Videotron would be expected to hold on to Shaw’s wireless licences for at least a decade and commit to bringing down cellphone bills outside of its home market of Quebec,“That’s what I’m going to be reflecting on – what are the expectations that I can demand that would ensure competition, that would ensure ... affordability,” Mr. Champagne said Wednesday.
Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith questioned the enforceability of Mr. Champagne’s conditions during the committee hearing, while Conservative MP Rick Perkins called on the minister’s department to release the notes from their more than 60 lobbying meetings with telecoms. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also addressed the deal between Rogers and Shaw on Wednesday, saying that the government’s top priority is trying to “keep prices down and keep quality high” for consumers of telecom services.
“That’s why we expressed concerns from the outset around the original proposal for Rogers-Shaw, and why we’ve been working very hard to see if there are ways to ensure continued competition in the industry while creating opportunities for better services for Canadians,” Mr. Trudeau said.
