Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership – Ex parte application
File number: Tariff Notice 422
1. The Commission denies the ex parte application[1] by Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership (Bell Aliant) dated 16 November 2011.
2. The Commission considers that the tariff revisions proposed in the application should have been accompanied by a price floor test because these revisions represent a new permanent service offering.
3. Bell Aliant is directed to file an electronic copy of the application for the public record by 11 January 2012.
Secretary General
Footnote:
[1] An ex parte application is an application that has been filed with the Commission without notice to the public and, as such, is not placed on the public record when initially filed. An ex parte decision is one in which the Commission disposes of an application solely on the basis of the applicant’s submissions. Subsection 61(3) of the Telecommunications Act allows the Commission to make an ex parte decision where it considers that the circumstances of the case justify it. In Review of regulatory framework, Telecom Decision CRTC 94-19, 16 September 1994, the Commission set out several considerations to be balanced in any determination to permit ex parte tariff filings, including the public interest in the effective operation of the competitive marketplace and the public interest in an open regulatory process.
