Bell (BCE inc.) listed in the registry at least three senior executives at SaskTel and lists its activities with those officials as “negotiations to sell to SaskTel or to purchase from SaskTel various telecom services, such as long distance, data and mobility rates.”

Details of the lobbying activity for Telus is described as, “Telecommunications and data storage and technology solutions. Pursue opportunities to contract with Government to provide information and communications technology solutions.”

The lobbyist doing that work is Teri Harris, who is a former member of Premier Brad Wall’s inner-political circle.
