Order of the Proceeding The attached agenda outlines the expected timing for the proceeding.

An adverse inference may be drawn, if appropriate, from the failure of a party to bring all relevant documentation and knowledgeable personnel to the oral hearing. For ease of translation and transcription, parties are requested to bring two copies of any written opening and closing remarks. The parties are also required to provide to Ms. Sheila Perron, at sheila.perron@crtc.gc.ca , and serve on each other, at least 10 days prior to the hearing, the name(s) of the person(s) who will be attending the hearing and their area of expertise.

The parties are also requested to include in the document a concise statement of the relief sought. This document shall be no longer than 10 pages in length. The parties shall file, as an attachment, a copy of all written material upon which they rely, except material already filed on this record, Commission determinations, tariffs, tariff filings and any other similar documentation usually before the Commission in the normal course of business.

Parties can access the electronic form on the Commission's website http://support.crtc.gc.ca/crtcsubmissionmu/forms/main.aspx?lang=e .
