The Bell Canada logo is seen Tuesday, June 21, 2016 in Montreal. Bell Canada made more than $64 million in gross revenues from calls made by inmates at Ontario jails — at "exorbitant" rates, lawyers allege in a lawsuit — and gave nearly $39 million of that to the province as commission, according to new disclosures from the telecom giant.
