RE: Application for an expedited process granting Bell Canada timely access on commercially reasonable terms to Plaza Corporation's York Harbour Club under construction multi-dwelling unit (MDU)
Dear Mr. Chapman:
On 30 September 2013, Bell Canada (Bell) filed with the Commission its reply comments to the 25 September 2013 response of Plazacorp Investments Limited in the above-mentioned application. As part of its reply comments, Bell requested that the Commission modify the general procedural steps for expedited hearings, as set out in Broadcasting and Telecom Information Bulletin CRTC 2009-38¸ Practices and procedures for staff-assisted mediation, final offer arbitration and expedited hearings (BTIB 2009-38), to consider the reply comments.
Commission staff finds that Bell failed to provide any justification as to why it would be necessary for the Commission to provide Bell with a right of reply at this stage of the proceeding. Commission staff reminds Bell that, in accordance with paragraph 31 of BTIB 2009-38, the Commission is currently in the process of determining whether it should proceed by way of an expedited hearing.
In light of the above, Commission staff is returning to Bell its 30 September 2013 reply comments. Those reply comments will not be part of the record of the above-mentioned application.
Sincerely,
Original signed by
