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 532 General Tariff – Introduction of migration clause for Centrex IP Service	12 August 2019	27 August 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) provides additional flexibility by allowing customers to migrate their Centrex Internet Protocol (IP) Service that is under the terms of a minimum contract period (MCP), to access services lines that are also subject to the terms of an MCP and (ii) helps ensure that consumers have access to high-quality telecommunications services as a result of this new migration clause.
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
