Bell Aliant, a division of Bell Canada – Final Approval of a tariff application

The Commission approves on a final basis the following tariff application:

Applicant	Tariff Notice and description	Date of application	Effective date
Bell Aliant, a division of Bell Canada	TN 533 Migration of Newtel Communications Non-Basic legacy services to Bell Aliant General Tariff	29 August 2019	27 September 2019

The Commission received no interventions with respect to the application.
In accordance with the 2019 Policy Direction,^{Footnote 1} the Commission considers that this order, which is based on a complete record, can promote competition, affordability, consumer interests, and innovation. Specifically, the final approval of this application will promote consumer interests, since it (i) allows for the amalgamation of the two company tariffs and the removal of tariff items that no longer apply, and (ii) helps ensure that consumers continue to have affordable access to high-quality telecommunications services in all regions of Canada, at rates that were previously approved on the basis of being just and reasonable.
Revised tariff pages are to be issued within 10 calendar days of the date of this order. Revised tariff pages can be submitted to the Commission without a description page or a request for approval; a tariff application is not required.

Secretary General
