no more locking fees for phones purchase or plan in Canada

Right now as Ive written this, I already know that from the start, the network provider are charging too much to every postpaid plan that a customer gets, whenever it is a TAB plan or BYOP plan,
Some of the plan which is not cheap, and not expensive starting from 35 to 45 dollar monthly, with no data or meaning you can only have unlimited text within canada and the call is restricted only after 5 pm everyday ,some have extensions like saturday and sunday( but mostly this is not true)
So basically, you will be charge  by data if you call before 5 pm, whenever you forget to call a friend or a call via microsoft or HP hotlines, its not all free.
Way back to the unlocking phones, mostly mobile  companies in canada like rogers, koodo, telus and bell have hidden charges to their subscribers when yo get a plan, For example with my case, I paid high more than my 35 $ monthly fee like 100 up to 160 per month, because i sometimes neglect calling hotlines of some giant computer companies, until now I already cancelled my account, but koodo still charge me 45.45 $ even if I already settle my account before i cancelled. they said its unlocking fee but my phone is still locked and the security code that they given me doesn't work until finally they told me that they will get a representative from my phone manufacture to contact them until when i cancelled nothing happen,
Now they gonna hunt me for it, because they will know that effective Dec. 1, 2017 all the phone plans that you can get from that expensive networks in canada will be now FREE.
Yes its free, thats what the new s that i came from when i tried to call virgin mobile representative in canada and when i find infos i get this form CRTC
Jean-Pierre Blais, Chairman of the CRTC, said in a statement, “The Wireless Code has helped make the wireless market more dynamic to the benefit of Canadians. While they appreciate the Code, they told us loudly and clearly that it could be more effective. We have listened to them. The changes and clarifications we are announcing today will give Canadians additional tools to make informed choices about their wireless services and take advantage of competitive offers in the marketplace.”
Blais ends his five-year term as CRTC chairman on Saturday. He said in a previous speech this week “fast action” is required to increase wireless competition in Canada.
Locked phones and unlocking fees ($50) have been big business for Rogers, Telus and Bell, as it prevented customers from switching providers and also limited how customers were able to use their devices overseas.
Just how much do the Big 3 providers pull in from unlocking fees? The Financial Post sums up CRTC data:
