In Elimination of service connection charge applicable to Residential Primary Exchange Service customers, Telecom Public Notice CRTC 2006-11, 11 August 2006 (Public Notice 2006-11), the Commission indicated that the record of the proceeding initiated by that Public Notice would close on 5 October 2006.

|
The Commission received a letter from TELUS Communications Company (TCC), dated 16 August 2006, in which the company indicated that it intended to file tariff notices by 15 September 2006 for its incumbent territories in Alberta, British Columbia, and Quebec. TCC submitted that in these tariff notices it would propose similar changes to those proposed by Bell Canada and Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership (Bell Aliant) (collectively, Bell Canada et al.) and under consideration in Public Notice 2006-11.
|
|
3.

TCC submitted that the Commission should consider its forthcoming tariff notices in the proceeding initiated by Public Notice 2006-11 and that the Commission should alter the proposed timelines accordingly.

4.
|
The Commission received a letter from Bell Canada et al., dated 18 August 2006, in which they submitted that they concurred with TCC's request to have the Commission consider its forthcoming tariff notices in Public Notice 2006-11. In this regard, Bell Canada et al. proposed a revised schedule.
|
|
5.
|
In a letter dated 29 August 2006, TCC submitted that Bell Canada et al.'s proposed schedule would not give TCC's residential customers sufficient time to provide TCC with their feedback with respect to TCC's proposals. Accordingly, TCC proposed a revised schedule.
|
|
6.
|
In a letter dated 31 August 2006, Bell Canada et al. indicated that they did not object to TCC's revised schedule.
|
|
7.
|
By Commission letter, dated 31 August 2006, Public Notice 2006-11 was suspended until TCC had filed its tariff notices.
|
|
8.
|
TCC filed former TELUS Communications Inc. Tariff Notice 572 and TELUS Communications (B.C.) Inc. Tariff Notice 4258, both dated 15 September 2006, proposing similar changes to those proposed by Bell Canada et al.
|
|
9.
|
In light of the above, the Commission determines that it will consider these tariff notices as part of the proceeding initiated by Public Notice 2006-11.
|
