Acentury Inc. 120 West Beaver Creek Rd., Unit 13 Richmond Hill, Ontario Canada L4B 1L2 Acentury Inc. 120 West Beaver Creek Rd., Unit 13 Richmond Hill, Ontario Canada L4B 1L2 Director General, Telecommunications and Internet Policy Branch Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada 235 Queen Street, 10th Floor Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H5 February 13, 2020 Subject: Petition to the Governor in Council to Vary Telecom Order CRTC 2019-288, Follow-up to Telecom Orders 2016-396 and 2016-448 – Final rates for aggregated wholesale high-speed access services, Reference: Canadian Gazette, Part 1, August 2019, (TIPB-002-2019) Dear Director General, Telecommunications and Internet Policy Branch, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada: I’m writing this letter in response to the CRTC decision on August 2019 under section 12 of the Telecommunications Act issued by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) concerning final rates for aggregated wholesale high-speed access services. As a valued supplier for all the major Canadian Telecommunication companies, I felt obliged to communicate the impact this decision will have on a growing Canadian technology company like ourselves. Acentury is an aspiring technology company who is currently one of the top 500 Canadian growing businesses as reported by Canadian Business (2019) and also one of the top 400 Canadian growing companies as reported by the Globe and Mail (2019). Our achievement and continued success are a direct result of the investment commitment made to next generation 5G and IoT wireless communications led by Bell Canada, Rogers and Telus. Canadian suppliers like us have been supported by Canadian Tier 1 telcos to help build and innovate our technical core competencies and capabilities; it has helped cultivate the growth of a Canadian-led, global organization that can keep pace and compete with our global technology peers. Canada’s growing digital infrastructure needs are dependent on these innovation initiatives; further, the growth of a competitive global organization will attract and retain a healthy labour workforce that can support the Canadian economy for years to come. Acentury Inc. currently does not have wholesale suppliers in our client list; wholesalers serve as resellers of services and do not have the volume or investment capacity to reinvest their earnings back into next generation development. Although the rates decision may ease the cost burden for the end consumers they serve in the short term, it does not address the long-term needs of next generation infrastructure investment that could be used to help solve those very problems. Canada’s Tier 1 telecommunication companies continue to support the growth of next generation technologies and we are providing that support as valued suppliers. Any delay in infrastructure investment will leave us further behind in our pursuit to maintain global technological parity. I trust this letter sheds some light to the matter from the perspective of a Canadian technology supplier. Thank you for taking the time to read our letter and I trust a revised or varied decision will help address Canada’s current and future digital infrastructure needs. Best regards, Frank Ye President cc. Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, the Hon. Navdeep Bain February 14, 2020 Patricia Brady, Director General, Telecommunications and Internet Policy Branch, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, 235 Queen Street, 10th Floor Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H5 Dear Ms. Brady, RE: Canada Gazette, Part 1, December 14, 2019, Petitions to the Governor in Council concerning Telecom Order CRTC 2019-288 (Notice No. TIPB-002-2019) I am writing to you today on behalf of AFL. As a provider of fiber network design, engineering, construction, and installation services to the major telecommunications companies in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec, AFL has a vested interest in the recent decision by the CRTC on wholesale rates. We believe that it’s critically important for Canadians and Canadian business to have access to high-speed internet, which is critical for advancing the digital economy. We support the federal government’s objective of balancing affordability, competition, investment, innovation and expansion to rural, remote and Indigenous communities. AFL employs over 894 employees across Canada. The reduction of infrastructure spending by facilities-based suppliers will jeopardize AFL’s business and our workforce. It also reduces AFL’s ability to invest in future jobs and programs, specifically with the introduction of 5G in Canada. AFL strongly believes that this is a step backwards in the adoption of technology and will drastically slow the roll- out of high-speed internet in rural communities, reduce the quality of service to existing areas and hinder the basic right to online information and services for all Canadians. The facilities-based companies have raised serious concerns in their petitions, and we believe that those concerns need to be addressed by the CRTC. AFL is requesting that Cabinet direct the CRTC to reconsider its decision. Sincerely, Joe Grech President, Network Services AFL ASPLUNDH ASPLUNDH CANADA ULC 12 February 2020 Director General Telecommunications and Internet Policy Branch Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada 235 Queen Street, 10th Floor Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H5 Filed electronically: ic.telecomsubmission-soumissiontelecom.ic(canada.ca Re: Canada Gazette, Part I, December 14, 2019, Volume 153, Number 10: Notice No. TIPB 002-2019 — Petitions to the Governor in Council concerning Telecom Order CRTC 2019- 288 Dear Sir: Our comments are being provided on behalf of Asplundh Canada ULC in support of a petition filed by Bell asking the Government of Canada to overturn an August 2019 order by the CRTC. That CRTC order puts broadband investment at risk by dramatically reducing wholesale rates for Internet resellers. Asplundh provides vegetation management services to Bell in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes that allow for the provision of reliable, safe services. Reduced broadband investment by major Canadian network providers like Bell raise the following concerns: • Forcing Canada’s network builders to open up their networks for resale by non-network service providers undermines planned capital investments and discourages future investment. • Any CRTC decision that leads to a chill on expected capital investments negatively impacts suppliers that leading network providers depend on for critical elements of their large-scale projects (highlight role in broadband and 5G deployments, if any). • Putting investments intended to extend and improve the reach and capabilities of broadband networks at risk, especially in rural Canada, is counter-productive and will worsen the digital divide that already exists between urban and many rural Canadians. • Discouraging capital investments in communications technologies weakens Canada’s digital ecosystem, impacting jobs, innovation and the ability of Canadian businesses to compete in the emerging digital economy, both regionally and globally. 3366, rue Jacob-Jordan, Terrebonne, Québec, J6X 4J6, 450.968.1888, 450.968.1116 EASPLUNDH ASPLUNDH CANADA ULC We feel that Government policies should encourage ongoing investments in next-generation networks and services by Canada’s major network providers and that overturning the CRTC’s order would deliver important benefits to all Canadians: • Avoids unnecessary delays to investments in network builds, new services and next- generation technologies (including 5G) • Supports investments in Canada’s networks that are critical to supporting jobs and innovation in Canada’s digital ecosystem • Encourages private sector investments that address the urban/rural digital divide • Increases use of advanced networks, products and services that provide important environmental benefits Sincerely, esja rd ins, Vice p res ide nt CC: David A Fleischner, Executive Vice president Michel Boudrias, Bloc Quebecois, Federal Deputy The Hon.

Objet : Gazette du Canada, Partie I, 14 décembre 2019, ministère de l’Industrie, Loi sur les télécommunications, avis no TIPB-002-2019 — Pétitions présentées à la gouverneure en conseil concernant l’ordonnance de télécom CRTC 2019- 288 (TIPB-002-2019) Mme Patricia Brady, Au nom de C3F TÉLÉCOM INC. je vous partage ma crainte concernant les répercussions de l’ordonnance en objet (CRTC 2019-288 (TIPB-002-2019)). Le but premier de permettre aux Canadiens un meilleur accès à des services d’accès internet à large bande ne sera pas nécessairement atteint avec cette ordonnance et les répercussions à moyens et à long terme sont encore plus désastreuses. Le déploiement de nouveaux réseaux sera inévitablement réduit. Chaque entreprise qui en possède et qui en déploie normalement souhaitera rentabiliser d’abord ses réseaux existants. Elles seront même tentées d’utiliser les réseaux des autres avec des tarifs aussi bas. L’aspect rétroactif du paiement marquera un arrêt brusque dans les nouveaux déploiements, puisque les

  • Consideration for Supports in Windsor-Essex Agri-Community
    January 19, 2021 Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 [email protected] Doug Ford, Premier of the Province of Ontario Assembly of Ontario, Office of the Premier Legislative Building, Queen’s Park – Room 281 Toronto, Ontario, M7A 1A1 [email protected] Re: Consideration for supports in Windsor-Essex Agri-Community At the urging of local health care leaders and municipal officials in Windsor and Essex County, representatives of all three levels of government have been meeting to address a looming crisis. As reported by Essex-Windsor EMS and hospital officials, our local healthcare capacity in Windsor and Leamington hospitals is approaching its limits, with over 20% of the pressures coming from the agricultural sector. As anecdotal evidence, patients are being transferred to Windsor Regional Hospital, Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, Blue water Health Systems (Sarnia) and London Health Sciences Centre, and a temporary morgue has been put in place in Windsor. Agriculture is a fundamental component of our local economy and being the most southern part of Canada, we are usually the first to begin the annual cycle of crop production. Our local greenhouse sector has just welcomed the first 600-700 Temporary Foreign Workers this past week, with an additional 2,000 expected in the next several weeks. By June 2021, this region will have accepted over 15% of the 66,000 guest workers expected into Canada. Unbelievably, even this large number is not enough workers to fill the labour market. Unfortunately, a large, undocumented work force also fills this void in our labour market.

Rempel Garner proposed the health committee (HESA) undertake a study to look at 17 different elements, including rapid, at-home testing; vaccine development; long-term care protocols within federal jurisdiction; the Public Health Agency of Canada ’s Global Public Health Intelligence Network; contact tracing protocol; and Canada’s level of preparedness for future pandemics. The motion also proposed that various ministers, including those for health, procurement and public safety, be required to appear before the committee separately for three hours each in order to answer questions about the government’s response to COVID-19. Rempel Garner’s motion was introduced after opposition members of the committee voted to adjourn the debate on a motion presented by Liberal MP and committee member Tony Van Bynen (Newmarket-Aurora, Ont.), who was calling for a study on the mental health impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians.

    Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report Annual General Meeting Canadian Political Science Association June 11, 2021 Dr. Paul Thomas Director Web: pip-psp.org Twitter: @PIP_PSP Instagram: @pip-psp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ParlInternship/ PIP Annual Report 2021 Director’s Message I am delighted to present the Parliamentary Internship Programme’s (PIP) 2020-21 Annual Report to the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA). The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped the experience of the 2020-21 internship cohort relative to previous years. Such changes began with a mostly-virtual orientation in September, and continued with remote work in their MP placements, virtual study tours, and Brown-Bag lunches over Zoom. Yet while limiting some aspects of the PIP experience, the pandemic provided opportunities as well. The interns took full advantage of the virtual format to meet with academics, politicians, and other public figures who were inaccessible to previous cohorts relying on in-person meetings. They also learned new skills for online engagement that will serve them well in the hybrid work environment that is emerging as COVID-19 recedes. One thing the pandemic could not change was the steadfast support of the PIP’s various partners. We are greatly indebted to our sponsors who chose to prioritize their contributions to PIPs despite the many pressures they faced. In addition to their usual responsibilities for the Programme, both the PIP’s House of Commons Liasion, Scott Lemoine, and the Programme Assistant, Melissa Carrier, also worked tirelessly to ensure that the interns were kept up to date on the changing COVID guidance within the parliamentary preccinct, and to ensure that they had access to the resources they needed for remote work.

  • Joint Statement Calling for Sanctioning of Chinese and Hong Kong Officials and Protection for Hong Kongers at Risk of Political Persecution
    Joint statement calling for sanctioning of Chinese and Hong Kong officials and protection for Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution We, the undersigned, call upon the Government of Canada to take action in light of the mass arrests and assault on civil rights following the unilateral imposition of the new National Security Law in Hong Kong. Many in Hong Kong fear they will face the same fate as the student protestors in Tiananmen Square, defenders’ lawyers, and millions of interned Uyghurs, Tibetans, and faith groups whose rights of free expression and worship are denied. We urge the Government of Canada to offer a “Safe Harbour Program” with an expedited process to grant protection and permanent residency status to Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution under the National Security Law, including international students and expatriate workers who have been involved in protest actions in Canada. Furthermore, Canada must invoke the Sergei Magnitsky Law to sanction Chinese and Hong Kong officials who instituted the National Security Law, as well as other acts violating human rights; and to ban them and their immediate family members from Canada and freeze their Canadian assets. Canada needs to work closely with international allies with shared values to institute a strong policy toward China. It is time for Canada to take meaningful action to show leadership on the world stage.
