Cogeco expressed disappointment over the Canadian federal government's decision to uphold the CRTC's wholesale Internet regulations. The company criticized the Cabinet's inaction, which it claims disadvantages smaller regional telecom providers and primarily benefits larger companies like Bell, Rogers, and Telus.

Cogeco's President and CEO, Frédéric Perron, highlighted concerns that the government's decisions undermine competition and investment in digital infrastructure. He stated, “The Federal Cabinet's inaction is unacceptable. It directly contradicts government efforts to promote sustainable competition and drive economic growth. The CRTC's current approach undermines choice and affordability, halting crucial innovation and investment vital for Canada's future.”

In response to this policy, Cogeco plans to continue challenging the CRTC’s regime, including pursuing legal action through the Federal Court of Appeal. The company maintains that addressing these regulatory issues is crucial for the economy and consumer options in Canada.
