Former federal industry minister Navdeep Bains.OTTAWA—NDP and Conservative MPs took the Liberal government to task in question period Monday over high wireless prices and the hiring of former industry minister Navdeep Bains by Rogers.

Bains was minister of innovation, science and industry in the current Liberal government—where he was responsible for the telecom sector—until January 2021. Last week, Rogers, one of Canada’s big three wireless carriers, announced Bains would join the company as chief corporate affairs officer. Williams said that “Canadians pay the highest cell phone rates in the world and in fact, Rogers customers pay the highest cell phone rates in Canada.”

Williams responded: “If you believe that, then I actually have a Rogers cell phone plan to sell you.”
