Dear Mesdames:

Re: Request to postpone the deadline for the final offer arbitration process regarding pay television services.

Commission staff acknowledges receipt of your letters dated 27 May, 7 June, and 17 June 2013, in which Astral Media inc (Astral) and Vidéotron s.e.n.c. (Vidéotron) jointly request to postpone the deadline for final offer arbitration (FOA) regarding Astral’s pay television services.

Commission staff considers the FOA process relating to pay television services postponed until such time as the Commission is notified that the parties wish to resume the process.

Yours sincerely,

Claude Brault
Senior Analyst
