Changes to procedure

  1. With this notice, the Commission revises the procedural dates established in Review of the competitor quality of service regime, Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2017-49, 23 February 2017 (Telecom Notice of Consultation 2017-49).
  2. By letter dated 20 June 2017, Quebecor Media Inc., on behalf of Videotron G.P. (Videotron), requested that the 23 June 2017 deadline for responses to requests for information (RFIs) be extended to 30 June 2017.
  3. The Canadian Network Operators Consortium Inc. (CNOC), OpenMedia, the Public Interest Advocacy Centre, and Rogers Communications Canada Inc. supported Videotron’s extension request. CNOC also requested that the one-week extension apply to all remaining deadlines in the proceeding and to all applicable parties.
  4. By letter dated 21 June 2017, all deadlines in the proceeding were temporarily suspended for all parties.
  5. The Commission considers that it would be in the public interest, and would not prejudice any party to the proceeding, to allow all applicable parties additional time to prepare their responses to the RFIs. Further, it would be reasonable to extend subsequent deadlines in the proceeding in a comparable manner.
