A joint statement on behalf of Rogers Communications and Shaw Communications:
March 03 2022 - 6:07PM
We continue to work constructively with the government and
regulators to close this transaction and deliver the benefits of
the merger to all Canadians. We share the government’s view that
affordable, high-quality services should be available to every
Canadian and by coming together, Rogers and Shaw will make the
generational investments in networks and technology that Canada
needs to create new jobs, increase competition, and bridge
connectivity gaps in rural and remote areas. We continue to expect
the transaction to close in the first half of 2022.
