Re: Bell Canada 's Part VII application concerning Competitor Digital Network Services in the territory of TELUS Communications Company in Quebec

Pursuant to the Telecommunications Act (the Act), the Governor in Council issued a direction, Order Issuing a Direction to the CRTC on Implementing the Canadian Telecommunications Policy Objectives (the Policy Direction) , to the Commission.   The Policy Direction came into effect on 14 December 2006 .

The Policy Direction can be found at:

http://canadagazetteducanada.gc.ca/partII/2006/20061227/html/sor355-e.html

The Policy Direction requires that the CRTC rely on market forces to the maximum extent feasible and regulate, where there is still a need to do so, in a manner that interferes with market forces to the minimum extent necessary to meet the policy objectives of the Act.

The Policy Direction applies to Bell Canada 's Part VII application concerning Competitor Digital Network Services in the territory of TELUS Communications Company in Quebec .   Accordingly, parties to this proceeding may want to address the Policy Direction and their submissions in this regard are to be filed no later than 21 March 2007 .

Yours sincerely,

'Original signed by D. Magmanlac' (for)
