Dear Messrs Connolly and Boyd: 

Re:        Q-Tel Request for Relief - Access Arrangements

On 2 May 2005 , the Commission received a complaint from Q-Tel Corporation (Q-Tel) of Grande Prairie Alberta requesting relief with regard to contractual arrangements with TELUS Communications Inc. (TELUS) related to network access arrangements.

On 24 May 2005 , the Commission received a message from TELUS requesting that the complaint be treated as a Part Vll application under the CRTC Telecommunications Rules of Procedure because the customer's request involves a duly signed contract(s) and a significant amount of money. 

On 27 May 2005 , Commission staff notified Q-Tel and TELUS that Q-Tel's request was to be treated as a Part VII application, and that consistent with the Commission's rules, TELUS was to file its answer no later than 15 June 2005 , and Q-Tel may file its reply by 27 June 2005 . 

On 2 June 2005 , the Commission received a request from TELUS that it be granted until 27 June 2005 to file its answer to Q-Tel's request. 

Having considered the argument presented by TELUS, Commission staff agrees with TELUS' requested extension to file its answer by 27 June 2005 .   Consequently, Q-Tel may now file its reply by 7 July 2005.  

Yours sincerely,
