     REASONS FOR ORDER

     (Delivered from the Bench at Ottawa, Ontario

     on Friday, May 29, 1998)

STRAYER J.A.

[1]      We are all of the view that both motions to quash Ontario Hydro's originating notice for judicial review should be granted.

[2]      We are satisfied that the grounds on which judicial review would be sought might also be the subject of an appeal under subsection 64(1) of the Telecommunications Act. According to the well-established jurisprudence of this Court section 18.5 of the Federal Court Act is a bar to a judicial review application in these circumstances.
