Supreme Court refuses CRTC's decision appeal

The Supreme Court of Canada won't be hearing big telecom's appeal of the CRTC's 2019 decision - Feb 10, 2021

OAKVILLE - February 25, 2021: The hopes of Canada's big telecom providers for not having to comply with 2019's CRTC ruling may have come to an end today as the Supreme Court of Canada has decided to not even hear their appeal.

SkyChoice is hopeful that as there are no further appeal options higher than the Supreme Court of Canada, their refusal to hear this appeal will result in large telecom providers to finally lower their wholesale rates as directed by the CRTC.

However given big telecom's vast efforts to delay implementation of the CRTC's 2019 decision, it may take a bit more time before the lower rates finally come into effect.

As previously mentionned, the CRTC is still in the process of reviewing its 2019 decision which should be completed within the next few months and once completed, the proposed or revised lower wholesale rates should finally get implemented.
