Re: Bell Canada - Part 1 Application for access to the Edenshaw Homes Limited’s Chaz Yorkville multi-dwelling unit- Procedural request from Edenshaw Homes Limited
Dear Sirs:
On 30 January 2015, Edenshaw Homes Limited (Edenshaw) filed a procedural request regarding Bell Canada’s 23 January 2015 final reply comments submitted in the context of the above-identified Part 1 application.
In its letter, Edenshaw argued that pursuant to a Commission staff letter dated 13 January 2015, Bell Canada’s final reply comments were to be limited to replying to Edenshaw's submissions dated 20 January 2015. Edenshaw submitted that Bell Canada did not limit its comments to replying to Edenshaw's submission, but also made new arguments and submissions well in excess of a reasonable reply.
Accordingly, Edenshaw is requesting that paragraph 25 of Bell Canada's 23 January 2015 final reply comments be struck from the record as it introduces recent correspondence between Bell and Edenshaw and cannot be seen as a reply to Edenshaw's submission of 20 January 2015.
In a reply dated 4 February 2015, Bell Canada argued that Edenshaw’s request should be dismissed since the evidence at issue was relevant and part of a proper reply. It further submitted that by repeating and corroborating the content of paragraph 25 in its own procedural request, Edenshaw’s request that the paragraph be struck from the record was now moot.
Staff Findings
Commission staff notes that while Edensahw, in its procedural request, asked that paragraph 25 of Bell Canada's 23 January 2015 final reply comments be struck from the record, it also proceeded to comment on the correspondence being referred to in that paragraph. As such, staff considers that any procedural prejudice which might have arisen as a result of Bell Canada’s comments set out at paragraph 25 of its 23 January 2015 filing has been cured.
In light of the above, staff considers that all submissions made by all parties should be considered by the Commission when making a decision in the above referenced Part 1 application.
Sincerely
