The Minister of Industry, as I understand, has unlimited powers to impose conditions, through the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Act, on the issuance, transfer or approval of any spectrum licence, hence the conditions the minister proposed in October.
If concern regarding the high costs that Canadians pay for cellphones drives overall government policy, can you inform me whether, since 2015, the Minister of Industry has ever imposed any conditions on Bell, Telus and Rogers to specifically reduce prices for any access to their towers or infrastructure as part of issuing or renewing licences?
