In March 2021, Rogers and Shaw announced that they reached an agreement for Rogers to acquire Shaw in a merger valued at approximately $26.2 billion.

This is bad for Canada and bad for consumers.

The Competition Bureau of Canada agrees. The Bureau, an independent law enforcement agency that protects and promotes competition for the benefit of Canadian consumers and businesses, announced in May 2022 that it was opposing the merger to “protect Canadians from higher prices, poorer service quality and fewer choices, particularly in wireless services”.

And in a national poll conducted this summer, 8 out of 10 Canadians agree that this merger will be bad for competition and pricing in the telecommunication industry. Limited choice will mean higher cost.

Look at the numbers. This is a bad deal that's not right for Canada, and not right for consumer choice. We need more competition, not less.
