RE:  Canadian National Society of the Deaf-Blind’s application for costs awards with respect to its participation in Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2016-116, Establishment of a regulatory framework for next-generation 9 1-1 in Canada - Request for information

Dear Ms. McHugh,

The Commission is in receipt of a costs application by the Canadian National Society of the Deaf-Blind (CNSDB) for costs filed in respect of the above-noted proceeding. The purpose of this letter is to request additional information from CNSDB regarding its application for costs.

Costs Claimed for Time Spent Completing the Costs Application

In its application, CNSDB claimed 10 hours for the assistance of the Deaf Wireless Canada Consultative Committee (DWCC) in “completing, modifying, and creating accessible Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission forms” and providing support to CNSDB with respect to the costs application filed by CNSDB.

Accordingly, Commission staff requests that CNSDB (i) indicate whether CNSDB was billed for DWCC’s services in completing the costs application and if so, include supporting documentation in its response; and (ii) explain, of the 10 hours claimed, the breakdown of time spent by Ms. McHugh of CNDSB for completing the costs application, as well as the time spent by DWCC for its assistance in completing the costs application.

Filing Information with the Commission

The requested information is to be filed with the Commission by 18 September 2017.

A copy of this letter and all related correspondence will be added to the public record of the proceeding.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel to contact me at 613-697-4027, or by email at megan.maloney@crtc.gc.ca.

Sincerely,

Original signed by
