    13 March 2003 Mr. Alex Himelfarb Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Cabinet Langevin Block 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A3 Bernard A. Courtois Executive Counsel Dear Mr. Himelfarb: BCE & Bell Canada Subject: Canada Gazette – Notice No. DGTP-001-03 Petition to the Governor in Council from Quebecor Média inc. under Section 12 of the Telecommunications Act in regard to the following CRTC Decision: Quebecor Média inc. – Alleged anti-competitive cross-subsidization of Bell ExpressVu, Telecom Decision CRTC 2002-61 These comments are filed on behalf of BCE Inc. and Bell Canada in response to the petition by Quebecor Média inc. (“Quebecor”) to the Governor in Council regarding Telecom Decision CRTC 2002-61 (“the Decision”). In its application of 4 April 2002, filed with the CRTC pursuant to Part VII of the CRTC Telecommunications Rules of Procedure, Quebecor alleged that BCE has been using profits generated by Bell Canada to anti-competitively cross-subsidize the entry of Bell ExpressVu Limited Partnership (“ExpressVu”) into the Quebec broadcasting distribution market. Quebecor argued that mechanisms put in place by the Commission to prevent cross-subsidization of ExpressVu by Bell Canada be activated in order to prevent Bell Canada, the dominant player in local telephone service, from becoming the dominant broadcasting distribution undertaking (“BDU”). In its Decision of 8 October 2002, the Commission found that Bell Canada was not, in fact, inappropriately cross-subsidizing ExpressVu, and furthermore, that ExpressVu was not the dominant BDU that Quebecor warned about: [T]he Commission remains of the view that the existing mechanisms, including those recently modified in Decision 2002- 34, are appropriate and sufficient to prevent inappropriate cross- subsidization of ExpressVu by Bell Canada, at the expense of users of telecommunications services.
