UPDATE: June 2017 – Thanks to your support we won on the Internet Tax. After Canada's Heritage Committee put forward a report calling for an Internet Tax, both Heritage Minister Melanie Joly, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stopped the proposal in its tracks. Thanks to all of you who spoke up! Without you, this wouldn't have been possible.

Right now, industry lobbyists are pushing policies that would jack up Internet prices for you and your family.1,2,3,4 The worst of these – an Internet Tax – amounts to a “digital tax on everything” that will raise your monthly bill and keep Canadians offline.5

They want this Internet Tax to pay for Canadian content. But by driving up already high Internet costs, it will deepen the digital divide.6,7,8 This is not what the government promised us.9 Getting more Canadians online drives middle-class growth, jobs and innovation.

Canadian Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly is feeling pressure from lobbyists, so we need to speak up. Tell Minister Joly: “We cannot allow proposals that would raise the price of Internet access. You must take the Internet Tax off the table.”

This petition is now closed. However please add your name below to make sure you hear about the next steps in our campaign to make Internet access more affordable for all Canadians.​
