“Even if the Competition Tribunal erred on the narrow legal points the commissioner now raises in this court, we are not persuaded that the result could have been different. Thus it would be pointless to send this case back to the Competition Tribunal.”Article content “It’s almost entirely a series of service agreements between competitors. Those couldn’t have been considered,” said Gay.
The deal, which Rogers hopes to close by Jan. 31, still requires approval from Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne. “We continue to work with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada to secure the final approval needed to close the pro-competitive transactions and create a stronger fourth wireless carrier in Canada and a more formidable wireline competitor.”
He urged Champagne to block the deal and instead set lower rates for internet service providers to access internet infrastructure.
