Bell Canada – Final approval of a tariff application

1. The Commission approves on a final basis the following tariff application:

   Applicant	Tariff Notice and description	Date of application	Effective date
   Bell Canada	TN General Tariff – Extension of Suspension of Service Promotion	9 February 2022	25 February 2022

2. The Commission received no interventions with respect to the application.
3. In accordance with subparagraph 1(b)(i) of the 2006 Policy Direction,^{Footnote 1} the Commission considers that the approval of this application will advance the policy objective set out in paragraph 7(f) of the Telecommunications Act.^{Footnote 2}
4. In accordance with the 2019 Policy Direction,^{Footnote 3} the Commission considers that this order, which is based on a complete record, can promote competition, affordability, consumer interests, and innovation. Specifically, the final approval of this application will promote consumer interests because it will enable customers who own a second or seasonal home, as well as customers who have been hospitalized as a result of COVID-19, to benefit from suspending their service for a limited duration due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
5. Revised tariff pages are to be issued within 10 calendar days of the date of this order. Revised tariff pages can be submitted to the Commission without a description page or a request for approval; a tariff application is not required.
