2.

The Commission notes that, in Local Competition, Telecom Decision CRTC 97-8, 1 May 1997, competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) must file proposed tariffs providing for interconnection with other providers of telecommunications services that are equivalent to the terms and conditions contained in the incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) tariffs, justifying any departure therefrom.
