To assist in establishing a complete record for the purpose of enabling the Commission to assess the application, Bell Canada and TELUS Communications Inc. are required to respond to the following question no later than 15 April 2026.
Other parties may file a reply with the Commission no later than 17 April 2026, limited to observations on this question.
Please specify whether the costs of corrective work recovered under your current support structure tariff include expenses related to the relocation, transfer, or reinstallation of your own facilities (or attachments). Specify whether these costs are recovered when the work is carried out in connection with an attachment application and/or during network maintenance that is not associated with an attachment request involving your own facilities (or attachments).
As set out in section 39 of the Telecommunications Act and in Broadcasting and Telecom Information Bulletin CRTC 2010-961, Procedures for filing and requesting disclosure of confidential information in Commission proceedings, parties may designate certain information as confidential. A detailed explanation of why the information is being designated as confidential and why its disclosure would not be in the public interest must be provided, including the reasons why the specific direct harm likely to result from disclosure would outweigh the public interest in disclosure. In addition to the confidential version, an abridged version of the document removing only the confidential information must be filed, or the reasons why an abridged version cannot be filed must be provided.
Sincerely,
