Hi. I’m David McGuinty, MP for Ottawa South.
In 2006, the CEO of Telecom New Zealand made a shocking admission.
She said: “What has every telco in the world done in the past? It’s used confusion as its chief marketing tool.”
We know that’s true in Canada too. Telecom companies in Canada haven’t been fair to Canadians.
And they’ve been making us pay more.
It costs the average cell phone user 33% more here than in the United States. And it costs business users 56% more.
My Bill, C-555 – the Get Connected Fairly Act – will provide transparency for you, the consumer.
Bill C-555 will end the System Access Fee which has cost Canadians billions of dollars in misleading charges.
And it’ll increase competition in our wireless market.
If you want fair prices in Canada – it’s time to speak up.
Join me. Sign my petition for Bill C-555 at www.davidmcguinty.com, and let’s Get Connected Fairly.
