____________________
Footnote:
1 An ex parte application is an application that has
been filed with the Commission without notice to the public and, as such,
is not placed on the public record when initially filed. An ex parte
decision is one in which the Commission disposes of an application solely
on the basis of the applicant's submissions. Subsection 61(3) of the
Telecommunications Act allows the Commission to make an ex parte
decision where it considers that the circumstances of the case justify
it. In Review of regulatory framework, Telecom Decision CRTC 94-19
, 16 September 1994, the Commission set out several considerations
to be balanced in any determination to permit ex parte tariff
filings, including the public interest in the effective operation of the
competitive marketplace and the public interest in an open regulatory
process.
2 In Introduction of a streamlined process for retail tariff
filings, Telecom Circular CRTC 2005-6,
25 April 2005, the Commission directed the companies to file all
tariff applications on an electronic basis.
