The House of Commons industry and technology committee is starting an investigation into the Rogers nationwide network outage by bringing in federal minister, officials, and business representatives for testimony.

On July 15, Liberal MP Han Dong introduced a motion during a House of Commons committee meeting requesting an investigation into the outage, which affected Rogers mobile and internet users, knocking out ATMs, shutting down the Interac payments system and preventing calls to 911 services in some Canadian cities.
