| ___________________ 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 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.
