Pierre Karl Péladeau, CEO of Québecor, is raising concerns about a deal between Loblaw and a company owned by Rogers and Bell that could impact wireless providers like Québecor. Here’s what you need to know:

– Loblaw is considering ending Québecor’s contract for wireless services at kiosks inside its grocery stores.
– The Mobile Shop, owned by Bell and Rogers, may exclusively offer products from Glentel, excluding other providers.
– Péladeau believes this move is anti-competitive and not in the best interest of consumers.
– He has called on Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne to take action against Loblaw, Rogers, Bell, and Glentel.
– Minister Champagne suggests that the Competition Bureau should address these concerns.

Despite claims from The Mobile Shop that its market presence is minimal, representing less than five percent of mobile phone sales in Canada, Péladeau remains skeptical. He questions the fairness of the deal with Loblaw and its potential impact on competition.

This situation highlights the ongoing debate around fair competition in the telecommunications industry. Stay tuned for updates as this story unfolds.
