^ Read a little further on the site and you'll see the following:
"The CRTC regulates rates and quality of service issues for wholesale services. The CRTC regulates the relationship between these resellers and the cable and telephone companies who own the infrastructure needed to provide Internet access, in order to ensure that Canadians have access to a range of Internet providers."
So, to summarize: "The CRTC does not set prices for consumers. The CRTC sets the price for wholesalers."
What competition is there when all the resellers are forced to pay the same price? If you're setting the price for wholesale, you're essentially setting the price for consumers, and the CRTC knows it. These guys aren't morons.
