RE: Application for final costs by the Affordable Access Coalition in Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2015-134, Review of basic telecommunications services – Request for Extension

Dear Mr. Schmidt:

The Commission is in receipt of your letter dated 5 July 2016, in which TELUS Communications Inc. (TCC) requests an extension until 21 July 2016 for the filing of an answer to the application for final costs filed by the Affordable Access Coalition (AAC) in the above-noted proceeding.

TCC submitted that it requires additional time to scrutinize the AAC’s costs application and prepare its answer because the underlying proceeding was complex, the AAC seeks considerable costs, and the costs application is lengthy.

By letter dated 6 July 2016, Bell Canada agreed that additional time is needed by potential costs respondent to properly review the costs application and file meaningful comments.

In its reply dated 6 July 2016, the AAC stated that it did not object to the requested extension.

Commission staff considers that, in light of the circumstances, it is appropriate to extend the period for the filing of answers to the AAC’s application for costs. Therefore, potential costs respondents may file answers by no later than 21 July 2016. Where a document is to be filed or served by a specific date the document must be received, not merely sent.

Sincerely,

[original signed by]

Emilia de Somma
Legal Counsel
