The Federal Court of Appeal has rejected the Competition Bureau's appeal on the Rogers-Shaw deal.

The court found the Competition Bureau's arguments did not meet the threshold to overturn the decision by the Competition Tribunal approving the deal.Competition Bureau lawyers presented arguments before the Federal Court of Appeal Tuesday morning in an effort to overturn the Competition Tribunal's approval of Rogers Communications Inc.'s proposed takeover of Shaw Communications Inc.

The concessions, such as discounted access to internet infrastructure, should not have been factored in, Gay said, because they are behavioural commitments that are not reliable or enforceable enough, and that wouldn't have been in play had the tribunal properly assessed the proposal. Rogers, which is set to present its side in the afternoon, argued in court submissions that the tribunal properly considered the combined deals between Rogers, Shaw and Videotron as the proposed merger, rather than the sale of Shaw's Freedom Mobile to Videotron as a side remedy, which changes the burden of proof.

Federal Court of Appeal justices also emphasized in their questions the high threshold required to overturn a tribunal decision in pointed questions to bureau lawyers.

Corruption

Less completion and higher prices for Canadians. Yeahhhhhwinning.

Because that’s what Canada needs in that sector, LESS competition! We already pay some of the highest wireless rates in the world!

Judges, lawyers and cops are proof that there is no rule of law in Canada. They do things that would put normal people in jail or have consequences. Local media has ignored this problem ruthlessly and helped these bad actors stay hidden. For example:

Now comes greedy increase in fees!

In for drastic increase in fees!

Canada has some of the highest mobile rates in the world. Allowing this to go through will not help with that. Why not sell Shaw to European or US interests so that we can finally have a tiny bit of competition in the market to improve service and drive prices down ? crtc CRTCeng
