The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission on Thursday told the company it has until June 23 to make public data that was marked confidential in a May 29 filing. Bell had said it needed to keep quiet the information, which details the level of internet traffic and possible congestion on its network, for competitive reasons."

Why on earth does a private company have to justify its service? If you don't like traffic-shaping, you can go to another provider. This is how the free-market works.
No one has a right to to un-shaped traffic.
