Dear John,
A new study published by the Fraser Institute finds that loosening restrictions on foreign investment and removing regulations that constrain how firms can compete in Canadian telecommunications and broadcasting industries would benefit Canadians through increased service offerings, improved product quality, and lower prices.
Both sectors are both vitally important to the economic health of a nation, and yet in Canada, they suffer from inefficient competition, which means Canadians suffer through more limited service offerings and high prices.
Opening up telecommunications and broadcasting to increased and less regulated competition, including from foreign investors (except in cases where national security might be compromised), would promote more consumer-focused content, more choice, and lower costs for Canadians over time.
Read the full study here, and be sure to share it on social media.
Sincerely,
Niels Veldhuis
President
The Fraser Institute
