ISP asks Cabinet to remove “biased” chair and reinstate evidence-based 2019 Rates Order
May 28, 2021. Chatham, Ontario. TekSavvy Solutions Inc. (“TekSavvy”) has petitioned the Liberal Government to overrule yesterday’s CRTC decision, which arbitrarily reversed its own 2019 decision lowering wholesale rates charged by Canada’s largest carriers (such as Bell Canada and Rogers) to smaller competitors (like TekSavvy). TekSavvy requested that the federal cabinet fulfill its mandate from the Prime Minister to support consumer choice and competition and ensure quality, affordable internet and mobile access, by taking the following steps:
“The CRTC’s disregard for both its own mandate from Cabinet, as well as Cabinet’s mandate from the Prime Minister, makes it clear that the CRTC actively undermined this government’s agenda and promises to Canadians” said Andy Kaplan-Myrth, TekSavvy’s VP of Regulatory and Carrier Affairs “The CRTC has ignored Cabinet’s directions to it and has placed the interests of large incumbent telecommunications providers above the interests of Canadians”.
