3. Request for documents to be designated as confidential

Sections 30 to 34 of the Implementation of new Rules of Practice and Procedure, Broadcasting and Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2010-958, set out a process by which parties to Commission proceedings may file information on the record of a public proceeding in confidence.

A party filing information can “designate” it as confidential at the time it is filed with the Commission (section 31) if it falls into one of the following categories:

1. Information that is a trade secret;
2. Financial, commercial, scientific or technical information that is confidential and that is treated consistently in a confidential manner by the person who submitted it; or
3. Information the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected
   1. To result in material financial loss or gain to any person;
   2. To prejudice the competitive position of any person; or
   3. To affect contractual or other negotiations of any person.

At the time that the party files the information it designates as confidential, it must provide an abridged version of the document along with an explanation of how the information falls into a category of information listed in section 31. The party must provide a detailed rationale to explain why the disclosure of the information is not in the public interest (section 32(1)).

The confidential version of the document must be filed separately and must be marked "CONFIDENTIAL" on each page. If the document is filed electronically, each file containing confidential information must include "confidential" in the file name.

The abridged version of the document and the reasons for the designation of information as confidential will be placed on the public record of the proceeding.

Please consult the Procedures for filing confidential information and requesting its disclosure in Commission proceedings, Broadcasting and Telecom Information Bulletin CRTC 2010-961 for complete process for filing confidential information.

*Are you requesting for some information to be designated as confidential?

Yes ( ) No ( )

*If yes, provide a detailed rationale to explain why the disclosure of the information is not in the public interest:

The following documents should be submitted as separate electronic documents using the naming convention specified below. The document number (Doc#) indicates the ascending order in which the documents should appear on the public file.
