RE: Review of wholesale services and associated policies, Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2013-551 – Procedural request by TELUS

Dear Madam/Sir:

This letter is in response to the procedural request submitted by TELUS Communications Company (TELUS), in its letter dated 17 January 2014, whereby the company proposed that all Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) and Non-dominant Carriers be made parties to the above-noted proceeding or that the Commission confirm that any such entity be obligated to respond to requests for information from any party regardless of its participation or its registration status. This proposal was supported by various incumbent carriers in subsequent letters^{Footnote 1}.

Commission staff recognizes that the record of this proceeding may benefit from information in the possession of entities that chose not to file an intervention. At the same time, Commission staff considers that the fact that entities chose not to file interventions in this proceeding, for whatever reason, is a relevant factor in assessing the merits of TELUS’ request.

In these circumstances, Commission staff considers that the appropriate balance would be that requests for information from entities who do not file an intervention be made on a case-by-case basis through the process identified below.

Parties that wish to request information from entities who do not file an intervention must submit a request to the Commission which identifies 1) the name of the entity or entities from which information is sought; 2) the specific information that is being sought; and 3) the reason why obtaining such information is necessary in the context of this proceeding. Such requests are to be submitted to the Commission by 28 February 2014, copying the affected entity. The entity from whom the information is sought may file comments on the request, serving the requesting party, within 10 days of the date of the request. If Commission staff agrees that such information would prove beneficial to gaining a better understanding of the issues, it will pose the necessary question to the entity that did not file an intervention directly during its first interrogatory phase scheduled for the March 2014 timeframe.

Further information regarding the next stages of this proceeding will be issued shortly; including the process associated with any requests for disclosure of information designated as confidential in connection with the first interventions, as well as the process associated with the first interrogatory phase.

Sincerely,

Original signed by

Lyne Renaud
