Stand up for fair competition in Canada


The Government of Canada is risking the future of the Canadian wireless industry. The policy loopholes, which give giant American corporations an advantage in the wireless spectrum bidding process, are unfair and will have massive consequences for Canadians.

This policy could undermine Canadians’ ability to connect to one another, threaten Canadian jobs, and raise significant concerns regarding privacy and security.

It's time to stand up


WHAT'S AT STAKE
The Canadian government is about to auction the most technologically advanced, productivity-enhancing wireless spectrum ever made available.

This development has the potential to shape Canadians’ access to wireless technologies for years to come.

So why is our government giving preferential treatment to giant American corporations at the expense of Canadian companies?

Canadian wireless providers are all for competition. Competition has driven Canadian carriers to build world-leading networks of high speed wireless coverage, nationwide. Competition benefits Canadians.

But competition requires a single set of rules – a level playing field.

It's time this government stands up for fair competition. It’s time we tell Ottawa to close the loopholes and subsidies for American wireless giants before it’s too late.
