Re: Regulatory requirements by carriers with respect to certain agreements filed pursuant to section 29 of the Telecommunications Act

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 states that the CRTC should 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 the above-noted proceeding.

Parties who provided comments with respect to this proceeding are requested to address the disposition of this process in light of the Policy Direction.   Comments are to be filed with the Commission and served on all parties who provided comments in this process by 18 July 2007.

Parties are reminded that the comments are to be limited to addressing the Policy Direction.   The above material is to be actually received, not merely sent, by the above date.

Yours sincerely,

'Original signed by C. Bailey'
