RE:  Review of wholesale services and associated policies, Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2013-551 – Requests for Information

Dear Sir:

Attached to this letter is a request for information issued to MTS Inc. and Allstream Inc. (collectively, MTS Allstream) in the context of the proceeding initiated by Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2013-551, as amended.^{Footnote 1}

A response to this request for information is to be filed with the Commission by 16 December 2014.

As set out in section 39 of the Telecommunications Act and in Broadcasting and Telecom Information Bulletin CRTC 2010-961, Procedures for filing confidential information and requesting its disclosure in Commission proceedings, persons may designate certain information as confidential. A person designating information as confidential must provide a detailed explanation on why the designated information is confidential and why its disclosure would not be in the public interest, including why the specific direct harm that would be likely to result from the disclosure would outweigh the public interest in disclosure. Furthermore, a person designating information as confidential must either file an abridged version of the document omitting only the

information designated as confidential or provide reasons why an abridged version cannot be filed.

Sincerely,

Original signed by

Lyne Renaud
Director, Competitor Services and Costing
