____________________ Footnotes:
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.
