Although TELUS says<\/a> it is “fully compliant with foreign ownership restrictions”, the Globalive \/ Wind Mobile application to review<\/a> that compliance raises some very interesting issues.<\/p>\n

First of all, now that the application has been filed with the Commission, it is not possible for TELUS to have any ex-parte<\/em> discussions with Commissioners to discuss the ownership or proposed restructuring. The CRTC was quite strict about avoiding meetings with Globalive during its 2009 ownership review; there is no reason to believe that the Commission would be more lenient with the TELUS review.<\/p>\n

As such, TELUS will need to prove its compliance in what could be a lengthy public proceeding, especially if Globalive succeeds in having the CRTC conduct a Type 3 or 4<\/a> review.<\/p>\n

According to the news report, Globalive is claiming that 48% of TELUS’ voting shares are held with non-Canadian addresses. If that is accurate, that number is about 50% too high; only one third of voting shares can be held by non-Canadians according to the bright line test set out in the definition of a “qualified corporation” in the Ownership Regulations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It becomes interesting to contemplate how such a situation could be remedied, if the CRTC determines that there is, in fact, a problem. How would you fix this?<\/p>\n
