Subject: Implementation of Thousand-Block Pooling

Dear Recipients,

On 5 February 2024, the Commission issued Telecom Regulatory Policy 2024-26 - Implementing Thousand-Block Pooling (TRP 2024-26) in which it, among other things,

  1. Directed local exchange carriers (LECs) and wireless carriers (WSPs) to implement thousand-block pooling (TBP) by 6 October 2025; and
  2. Requested that CISC examine the inclusion of unused numbers from previously assigned CO codes in the number pooling inventory and file a report with the Commission by 6 August 2024.

The Commission is currently considering a Part 1 Application filed by Bell Canada, Cogeco Communications Inc., the Independent Telecommunications Providers Association, Québecor Media Inc., Saskatchewan Telecommunications, TELUS Communications Inc., and Westman Media Cooperative Ltd. (collectively, the Applicants) seeking to review and vary TRP 2024-26. The application was posted to the Commission’s website on 23 May 2024 and the proceeding record closed on 14 June 2024.

Staff reminds all LECs and WSPs that, while the Commission considers the record of the proceeding, all existing obligations, including the deadlines established in TRP 2024-26, remain in place. As such, all parties are expected to continue performing the work necessary to advance the implementation of thousand-block pooling in Canada.

If you have any questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact Étienne Robelin at etienne.robelin@crtc.gc.ca.

Yours sincerely,

Original signed by

Leila Wright
