Facts: BCE Inc. (Bell) challenged a CRTC decision (2019-427) favoring Québecor, alleging it gave undue preference to Bell's RDS over Québecor's TVA Sports by placing TVA Sports in more expensive packages, impacting its reach and revenue.
Issues/Main Discussion: The case questioned if the CRTC's previous Final Offer Arbitration (FOA) decisions on package fairness precluded its undue preference decision, and if legal doctrines to prevent re-litigation applied.
Ruling: The Federal Court of Appeal dismissed Bell's judicial review application, supporting the CRTC's autonomy in treating the undue preference complaint as distinct from prior FOA decisions, emphasizing different considerations between FOA and undue preference evaluations.
