Lower Cellphone and Internet Bills

​​

Far too many Westman families are just getting by rather than getting ahead.

​

Canadians continue to pay some of the highest prices in the world for accessing the internet – both at home and on their mobile phones.

 

A few giant companies have too much power, and Canadians are suffering for it. It’s time for a government that takes the side of consumers.

​

​

• Put consumers first and hold the big telecom service providers accountable for anti-competitive behaviour and practices that hurt consumers
   

• Promote competition by allowing new telecommunications companies to provide services to Canadian customers, provided that the same treatment is reciprocated for Canadian companies in that company’s country
   

• Build digital infrastructure to connect all of Canada to High-Speed Internet by 2025, ensuring that all Canadians have reliable access to the Internet regardless of where they live
   

• Promote investment in communications facilities by local and regional communities and businesses, which will reduce local and regional dependence on national telecommunications giants
