Canada pushes stronger competition to lower costs, launching new telecom rules and reviewing markets.
On October 1, 2025, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly announced a stronger federal push for competition to lower living costs, calling for a “hawkish” approach at the Competition Bureau’s summit.
She highlighted a new telecom rule allowing large companies to use rival networks, aiming to expand internet access and reduce prices, particularly in rural areas.
The move has drawn support from smaller providers and the Competition Bureau, but Bell opposes it, fearing reduced infrastructure investment.
The bureau is also studying market concentration in groceries, airlines, and lending barriers for small businesses.
Officials stress that competition drives innovation, affordability, and global competitiveness, with evidence showing new airline entrants cut fares by up to 9%.
The government is advancing reforms to reduce red tape and speed up infrastructure projects ahead of the fall budget.
