GP:
“Canadians pay more for less when it comes to mobile and internet services. This is due largely to the anti-competitive climate in Canadian telecommunications. Greens will take action to ensure a competitive climate by amending CRTC regulations to break up the telecom monopoly and give smaller companies a chance to compete fairly. We will help bridge the digital divide and ensure all Canadians have access to high-speed internet service that is affordable and fair.” – Official GPC response

LPC:
“A re-elected Liberal government will help cut the cost of cell and wireless services by 25 per cent. As Canadians, we pay some of the highest prices in the world for cell phone services, while Canadian telecom companies are among the most profitable in the developed world. To help lower monthly cell phone bills and bring costs in line with what people pay in other countries, we will introduce competition with a clear objective to cut the cost of these services by 25 per cent in the next two years by using the government’s regulatory powers, saving an average middle class family of four nearly $1,000 per year.” – Official LPC response

NDP:
“Unlike the other parties who refuse to stand up to the big phone companies we’ll make your bills more affordable. Because we’re on your side and in it for you. We’ll put in place a price cap on bills and ensure that providers offer unlimited and basic plans at an affordable rate. We’ll also eliminate data rate caps and introduce a Telecom Consumers’ Bill of Rights to end price gouging for good.” – Official NDP response

CPP:
Yet to respond.
