A significant amount of activity has transpired in the first four months of 2005 as TELUS and the Telecommunications Workers Union (TWU) continue to attempt to reach a replacement collective agreement. In early February, the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) issued a decision overturning its year old ruling that imposed binding arbitration on TELUS, and returned the parties to the collective bargaining process while reinstating a narrower communications ban on the company. The TWU appealed this CIRB decision to the Federal Court of Appeal and it is scheduled to be heard on May 31, 2005. Since the release of that decision in February, the parties have been in negotiations under the supervision of a federally appointed Mediator.

TELUS and its subsidiaries are subject to the foreign ownership restrictions imposed by the Telecommunications Act, the Radiocommunication Act and the Broadcasting Act. In July 2007, the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Finance announced the creation of a Competition Review Panel to review Canadian competition and investment legislation: the Competition Act and the Investment Canada Act. As the Panel will report to the Minister of Industry by June 30, 2008, it is expected that any subsequent legislation changes would not be effective until late-2008 or 2009. TELUS has supported the relaxation of foreign ownership restrictions in the past, but believes that any such relaxation must be on an equal basis for broadcasting and telecommunications companies.

Phase one of WNP (sometimes referred to as local number portability, or LNP) was implemented successfully on March 14, 2007 in the majority of populated centres in Canada by Canadian wireless carriers, including TELUS. Implementation of WNP in remaining areas was achieved in September 2007. Experience from two full quarters of WNP, indicates that it is a net contributor to increased subscriber loading for TELUS, with inbound porting exceeding outbound porting, but WNP has ... contributed initially to increased wireless customer retention costs as a percentage of revenues in the second quarter of 2007 and a slight increase in subscriber churn in the second and third quarters of 2007. Subscriber churn and retention costs may be permanently higher in the future.
