2023-138, -139 and -140 - Procedural request - 19 May 2023

The grounds for the request follow a brief review of the background to the three notices of consultation. [...] This request asks the CRTC to grant an extension of deadline for the interventions, replies and final replies in the Implementation proceedings which still provides time for the CRTC to add materials to the public record in these proceedings. [...] It does not ask for changes to the date of the 20 November 2023 public hearing, and provides time for the CRTC to issue determinations on two of the three notices should it wish to do so. [...] The applicants respectfully submit that setting the same intervention and reply deadlines for all three proceedings would make it far easier for parties to understand the state of each proceeding at any point in time and also to develop, should parties wish to do so, a coherent framework to submit to the Commission. [...] An extension of the deadlines for replies in the case of the 2023-139 and -140 proceedings to 1 September 2023 would still enable the CRTC to require final replies by mid- September – still in time for the 20 November 2023 public hearing.
