In Regulatory framework for the small incumbent telephone companies, Decision CRTC 2001-756, 14 December 2001 (Decision 2001-756), the Commission determined that the fourth service basket comprises all other services (not in baskets 1,2 and 3) offered by the small incumbent local exchange carriers, such as optional services, multi-element service categories, special facilities tariffs and competitor access tariffs. The Commission also determined that rates for these services would be permitted to increase up to an already approved rate for the same service. It stated that tariff applications could be submitted at any time and should reference when and where the Commission approved the rate.

The Commission approves North Renfrew's application. The revisions take effect as of 1 March 2005.
