Re: Part VII Application by Look Communications Inc., seeking an order requiring Bell Canada to comply with the Bell Canada Terms of Service - Billing Dispute

Further to the Part VII filed   by Look Communications Inc. (the Applicant) to the Commission dated 27 April 2007 in the above-noted matter, this letter shall serve to advise the Applicant and Bell Canada (the Respondent) , that the Commission has decided to adjudicate this matter on an expedited basis, in accordance with the expedited process established in Expedited procedure for resolving competitive issues , Telecom Circular CRTC 2004-2, dated 10 February 2004.

Consequently, this matter will be referred to a Panel of three Commissioners and the proceeding will include an oral hearing on 7 June 2007 .  

No later than 28 May 2007, the Applicant and the Respondent shall each file with the Commission, and serve on each other, a document consisting of a concise argument stating all the facts and Commission requirements and regulatory decisions relied upon in supporting their respective positions, as well as, in the case of the Applicant, a concise statement of the relief sought. This document shall be no longer than 10 pages in length. Parties are requested to direct their responses by filling out the on-line form indicating the above-noted CRTC file number.   You can access the forms on our website ( www.crtc.gc.ca) by selecting "Contact Us" and then choosing the appropriate form.   The parties shall file, as an attachment, a copy of all written material upon which they rely, except material already filed on this record, Commission determinations, tariffs, tariff filings and any other similar documentation usually before the Commission in the normal course of business. Only the documentation relevant to the issue before the Commission should be filed.   A copy of the submission should also be forwarded to Lynne Fancy, at lynne.fancy@crtc.gc.ca .

Where a party designates information filed with the Commission as confidential, it must provide the reasons for its claim for confidentiality at the time it files the information with the Commission. If it chooses to do so, the other party (the requesting party) has one day to make representations to the Commission, clearly stating why it considers that the disclosure of the information filed in confidence is in the public interest, serving a copy on the party claiming confidentiality. The party claiming confidentiality will have one day to file a reply, serving a copy on the requesting party.

The hearing will be held on 7 June 2007, in Salon Réal Therrien on the 7 th  floor of the Central Building, Terrasses de la Chaudière, 1 Promenade du Portage, Gatineau, Quebec.

At the beginning of the hearing, the Applicant and the Respondent will be accorded the opportunity to briefly address the Panel, 10 minutes maximum. The parties will then be questioned by the Commission and each other. The Applicant and the Respondent will be accorded the opportunity to briefly address the panel at the conclusion of the hearing.

The parties are required to bring with them all knowledgeable personnel. An adverse inference may be drawn, if appropriate, from the failure of a party to bring all knowledgeable personnel to the oral hearing.

The parties will be provided with an agenda for the hearing by 1 June 2007 and are required to provide to Ms. Marielle Giroux-Girard, at marielle.giroux-girard@crtc.gc.ca , and serve on each other, at least 10 days prior to the panel hearing, the name(s) of the person(s) who will be attending the hearing and their area of expertise.

Parties may contact Mr. Stephen Millington at (819) 953-0632, or at stephen.millington@crtc.gc.ca , if they require additional information regarding the hearing.

Verbatim transcripts of the hearing will be kept and posted on the Commission's web site.

Where a document is to be filed or served by a specific date, the document must be actually received, and not merely sent, by that date.

Yours sincerely,
