When pressed, Jacqueline Famulak, manager of legal and government affairs at Apple Canada Inc., said the company never meant to leave the impression with consumers that it was withholding the reasons behind the slowdown. The former commercial litigation lawyer asked Apple Canada to disclose any internal communications, opinions or advice given to Apple Canada or its American parent company regarding whether the source of the iPhone performance problems should be made public. Masse said he wants the Competition Bureau, which could launch an investigation, to be aware that Parliament is interested. Windsor West MP Brian Masse: 'I don't know whether our Competition Bureau has the resources or ... the teeth.' Apple has said it will cut the price of a battery replacement in Canada by $64, bringing it down to $35, through 2018.
