Process
- Parties to whom the interrogatories have been addressed (see Attachments A and B of the 10 August 2012 letter) are to file responses by 10 September 2012,serving a copy on the distribution list set out below.
Note: In addition to Bell Canada, interrogatories are addressed to the following parties: The Canadian Council for the Blind, the Canadian Hearing Society, the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, the Ontario Association of the Deaf, and the Neil Squire Society.
