Subject: Requirement to file documentation regarding aggregated annual returns starting with the 2012-2013 broadcast year

Dear Ms. Mainville-Neeson:

This letter is to inform you that following a Commission determination, TELUS Communications Inc. has been added to the list of owners of large broadcasting distribution undertakings that are required to file aggregated annual returns under Broadcasting Regulatory Policy CRTC 2009-560.

As outlined in paragraph 40 of the Policy, the Commission “may require additional ownership groups to file aggregated annual return data in the future as changes in the ownership and landscape of the broadcasting industry warrant”. The Commission considers that TELUS communications Inc.’s growth has reached a level such that it will be required to file the confidential and public aggregated annual return forms with the Commission beginning with the 2012-2013 broadcast year.

The 2012-2013 aggregated annual return for your ownership group is due February 20, 2014. For future years, you will receive the blank aggregated annual return forms in October and they will be due November 30. The public version of the aggregated annual return will be published on the Commission’s website.

Please find attached to this letter, instructions providing additional details on the required Information, as well as the applicable Aggregated Annual Return forms in Excel format.

Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation in ensuring our timely receipt of this important documentation.

Sincerely,

John Traversy
Secretary General

Enclosure
