RE: Agreement 810/01 – Amendment No. 1 to MALI between Fido Solutions Inc. and Bell Canada
Dear Mr. Olivier:
On 5 May 2009, the Commission received an application by Fido Solutions Inc. in which the company proposed modifications to its Master Agreement for Local Interconnection with Bell Canada.
Commission staff notes that the modification proposed on page 1 of the document is a modification to the MALI itself, and not to Schedule C as indicated at the bottom of the page. Staff also notes that it is the usual practice to file MALIs , other than their associated Schedule Cs, on the public record.
Staff further notes that the application was filed in confidence. However, the company has not, as required by the CRTC Telecommunications Rules of Procedure (the Rules), submitted any justification for its claim of confidentiality.
In that regard, the Rules provide that if the company wishes to claim confidentiality for any material filed with its application, it must file on the public record detailed and specific reasons to support such a claim, along with an abridged version of the material, redacting as little as possible, or detailed and specific reasons for objecting to filing an abridged version.
Staff therefore requests that the company do the following by 10 June 2009 :
- amend page 1 to reflect that the modification is to the main MALI document, not Schedule C;
- provide detailed justification for any part of its application that it considers should remain confidential; and
- file an abridged copy of its application for the public record, redacting as little of the material for which confidential treatment is claimed as possible, or provide detailed and specific reasons for objecting to file an abridged version.
Yours sincerely,
