In order that the application may be available for public examination consistent with the CRTC Telecommunications Rules of Procedure (the Rules), the company is directed to file with the Commission at procedure@crtc.gc.ca, on or before 8 September 2005, an electronic version of the application2 for the Commission web site.

Footnotes:

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. Subsection 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.

2 In Introduction of a streamlined process for retail tariff filings, Telecom Circular CRTC 2005-6, 25 April 2005, the Commission directed the companies to file all tariff applications on an electronic basis.
