The House of Commons industry and technology committee is planning to initiate another study of the proposed Rogers-Shaw merger.
Conservative MP Rick Perkins and New Democrat MP Brian Masse confirmed to The Canadian Press that the committee plans to meet on Jan. 25 to review the proposed $26 billion transaction.
Members of Parliament on the committee had previously reviewed the prospective merger in March and recommended against the transaction. Perkins said in an interview that Parliament should have the opportunity to review the deal as it now stands, since the study conducted in March was of a previous version of the proposed transaction.
And while that decision lies in the hands of Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, Perkins said the committee can provide "some useful perspective."
