Re: Application for forbearance of discretionary services

On 10 July 2006 , Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership, Bell Canada and Saskatchewan Telecommunications (the Companies) filed an application with the Commission for forbearance of discretionary services, pursuant to Part VII of the CRTC Telecommunications Rules of Procedure (the Rules).

On 1 August 2006 , the Commission notified parties, by letter, that Commission staff was reviewing the application, and advised parties to refrain from filing interventions until further notice.

Commission staff notes that the proceeding initiated by the Review of price cap framework , Telecom Public Notice CRTC 2006-5, 9 May 2006 (Public Notice 2006-5) addresses issues which are also raised by the Companies in their Part VII application. Commission staff therefore defers consideration of the Companies' Part VII application until the Commission has concluded the proceeding associated with Public Notice 2006-5.

At that time, Commission staff will notify parties of the process to be established in disposing of the Companies' forbearance application for discretionary services.

Sincerely,

Paul Godin
Acting Director General,
Competition, Costing and Tariffs
