The CRTC arrives at that conclusion:

24. The Commission finds that based on the evidence provided in this proceeding, 
no traffic is given priority over other traffic, and in particular, there is no 
evidence that Shaw's QSE gives its traffic preference over Cybersurf's or any 
other competitor's traffic on the HSIS network. The Commission therefore cannot 
find that Shaw is conferring onto itself an undue preference by offering its 
HSIS customers the QSE while not offering the same to Cybersurf for resale to 
its end-customers.
