Telecom Order CRTC 2002-229

Ottawa, 3 June 2002

Bell Canada
 Reference: Tariff notice 6656

Ex parte application

The Commission denies the ex parte application1 by Bell Canada, dated 22 February 2002.

The Commission does not consider the proposed offer to be a legitimate promotion and also considers that it would unjustly discriminate against subscribers to the service.

The company must file, within two business days of the date of this order, a copy of the application in all relevant public examination rooms, to complete the public record.

___________________
1 An ex parte application, is an application that has been filed with the Commission without notice to the public and, as such, is not placed on the public record when initially filed. An ex parte decision is one in which the Commission disposes of an application solely on the basis of the applicant's submissions. Section 61(3) of the Telecommunications Act allows the Commission to make an ex parte decision where it considers that the circumstances of the case justify it. In Review of regulatory framework, Telecom Decision CRTC 94-19, 16 September 1994, the Commission set out several considerations to be balanced in any determination to permit ex parte tariff filings, including the public interest in the effective operation of the competitive marketplace and the public interest in an open regulatory process.
