Submission declined on 29 August 2024 by Mcmatter (talk).

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

WiQ Tech is a wholly owned subsidiary of Secure Energy Services. Wiqtech.ca is a Canadian technology company that specializes in software solutions for the energy and waste management industries. Founded in Calgary, Alberta, Wiqtech.ca offers a suite of digital tools designed to optimize logistics, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency for companies involved in hazardous waste management and transportation.

Controversy

In July 2021, Secure acquired Tervita after the expiry of the statutory waiting period and having defeated an emergency injunction application brought by the Commissioner to prevent closing of the Merger. Secure therefore closed “at risk” knowing that its ownership of the Tervita business would be subject to complex, ongoing litigation that could ultimately result in significant divestitures.

In March 2023, the Competition Tribunal ruled in favor of the Commissioner of Competition in his challenge of Secure Energy Services’ acquisition of Tervita Corporation. The Tribunal ordered Secure to sell 29 facilities to resolve the substantial lessening of competition found in 136 relevant markets.

Being that WiQ is a subsidiary of Secure and offers a data tracking service to their direct waste treatments competitors, there is concern that WiQ was developed as a way to maintain an information monopoly. Currently, WiQ's website makes no known mention of their affiliation with Secure Energy.
