RE:  Applications for final costs in the proceeding initiated by Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2015-134, Review of basic telecommunications services – Procedural letter

Dear Madam, Sir:

The Commission is in receipt of several applications for costs filed in respect of the above-noted proceeding. Specifically, the Commission has received applications from:

• the Affordable Access Coalition (AAC)
• the Canadian Hearing Society (CHS)
• the Deaf Wireless Canada Committee (DWCC)
• the First Mile Connectivity Consortium (FMCC)
• Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak Inc. (MKO)
• OpenMedia
• Ryan Adams
• Union des consommateurs (UC)

In addition, the Canadian Association of the Deaf has been granted an extension until 29 July 2016 to file its application for costs.

Pursuant to section 66(3) of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure (the Rules of Procedure), a costs applicant must serve the application on all other parties.^Footnote1

Commission staff notes that several applicants may not have served their applications on parties, as required.^Footnote2 In light of the number of costs applications involved, Commission staff considers that it would be most efficient to dispense with the service requirement in respect of the applications.

By way of the present letter, therefore, all parties to the proceeding are provided with notice of the claims for costs, which are posted on the Commission’s website under the “Costs” link associated with the above-noted file number.

Pursuant to section 67 of the Rules of Procedure, potential costs respondents have ten days from the date the application is filed to file an Answer. For those costs applications which may not have been served, in order to give potential cost respondents a fair opportunity to respond, the period for filing Answers are hereby modified as follows:

• Parties to the proceeding may file Answers to the applications for costs made by CHS, DWCC, FMCC, MKO, and Ryan Adams, by no later than 29 July 2016.

The deadlines for the filing and service of Answers to all other applications for costs remain unchanged. Parties are requested to serve applicants with their Answers.

As per usual, costs applicants may reply to any Answer within ten days.

Parties are strongly encouraged to monitor the Commission’s website for new costs applications as well as new information that may be filed in respect of costs applications.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 819-997-4577 or emilia.desomma@crtc.gc.ca.

Sincerely,

Original signed by

Emilia de Somma
Legal Counsel
