Ignorance as a human (business?) right?

Rogers Communications Inc. is a company providing cable, cellular, and other 
services in Canada.

Rogers has a discount brand, Chatr, which they advertise as being "more reliable 
and less prone to dropped calls."  Canada's Competition Bureau, after what it 
called "an extensive review of technical data," found no discernible difference in 
dropped-call rates between Rogers/Chatr and new entrants.

Apparently, Rogers will argue that the court should strike down a section in 
Canada's Competition Act that requires companies to undergo "adequate and 
proper" tests of a product’s performance before making advertising claims about 
it.  In other words, Rogers is saying that forcing the company to find out if claims 
are true is unfair, because that means they can't lie with a straight face.
