Dear Madam and Sirs:

Re:  Follow-up to Use of deferral accounts to improve access to telecommunications services for persons with disabilities and to expand broadband services to rural and remote communities, Telecom Decision CRTC 2008-1 (Telecom Decision 2008-1)

The Commission is in receipt of correspondence from Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership and Bell Canada (the Bell companies), dated 27 April 2010, regarding responses to interrogatories that were due to be submitted to the Commission on 27 April 2010.  The Bell companies have indicated that they require a delay until 14 May 2010 to respond to these interrogatories.  The proposal of the Bell companies is acceptable.
