Mr. Glen Boyd Dear Messrs Grieve 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 27 May 2005 , Commission staff notified Q-Tel and TELUS that Q-Tel's request was to be treated as a Part Vll application under the CRTC Telecommunications Rules of Procedure . On 27 June 2005 , the Commission received comments from TELUS in answer to Q-Tel's application, and on 21 July 2005 , the Commission received Q-Tel's final reply. Commission staff notes that, pursuant to section 34 of the Telecommunications Act , the Commission may make a determination to refrain, in whole or in part and conditionally or unconditionally, from the exercise of any power or the performance of any duty under sections 24, 25, 27, 29 and 31 in relation to a telecommunications service or class of services provided by a Canadian carrier, where the Commission finds as a question of fact that to refrain would be consistent with the Canadian telecommunications policy objectives. Based on the record of this proceeding, Commission staff believes that the services provided by TELUS to Q-Tel, which are the subject of this dispute, are forborne services, and, therefore, are not subject to tariff approval. As a result, any dispute between the parties with respect to these services is a private matter between the parties. Consequently, Commission staff will not be taking any further action on this matter, and this file is being closed. Yours sincerely, 'Original signed by S. Bédard '
