Subject: TELUS Tariff Notice 590 – Support Structure Pole Rental Rate Change – Response to TELUS’ request for extension
On 26 April 2024, TELUS Communications Inc. (TELUS) filed Tariff Notice (TN) 590 to revise the tariff pages for its General Tariff CRTC 21461, Item 404 – Support Structure Service, to reflect the updated monthly pole rental rate per unit.
On 17 May 2024, Bragg Communications Inc., carrying on business as Eastlink; Quebecor Media Inc., on behalf of its subsidiaries Videotron Ltd. and Freedom Mobile Inc.; and Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (collectively, the Cable Carriers) requested an extension to the date for comments from 5 June 2024 to 21 June 2024.
On 3 June 2024, Commission staff replied to the Cable Carriers, denying its extension request, and maintained the due date of 5 June 2024 to submit interventions, with a reply deadline for TELUS of 17 June 2024.
On 7 June 2024, the Commission received an extension request from TELUS seeking to extend the due date for filing its reply comments to interventions from 17 June 2024 to 24 June 2024.
On 10 June 2024, the Cable Carriers responded to the TELUS extension request asking the Commission to dismiss the additional days sought by TELUS.
Commission staff considers that it is important for these tariff proceedings to be efficient to ensure the timely implementation of any potential changes. Upon review of TELUS’ request and comments from intervenors, Commission staff is of the view that the 17 June 2024 deadline allows sufficient time for TELUS to file their replies.
Accordingly, the deadline to submit replies to interventions remains 17 June 2024.
Sincerely,
