By way * of summary, He Company has made the following statement: | "in the spring of 1983; It waa generally anticipated that the economic prospects for British Columbia would significantly Improve as the ‘year progressed, The province’ growih was expected to outpace all other prdvinces in 1983 and 1984 albeit at. growth rates somewhat below historical averages.in preparing its revenue forecast forihe Company's pravious rate case, B.C: Tel assumed thatthe ensuing recovery perlod would produca moderate growth In revenues during the remainder of 1983 and In 1984.. a Contrary lo these expectations, B.C. did nat leat the Canadian écénomic recovery in=1989 and, as a result, the Company's #1983 revenues fel! $30 millon short of earlier projections “due to lower demand levels. Weaker economic conditions In the province are now expected: lo continue in 1984 with real economic growth now forecast at 4 ta 4%% compared to earller axpectations of 6%.

Without the rate Increasas raquested In this ‘application, Ris estimated that the rate of relum on averaga common equity for B.C. Tel in 1984 will be about 11.7% ona regulated basis. It is « therefore necessary to obtain rate relief." Tha Commission has advised the Company that giving regard , to its present schedute inclusive of thase hearlhgs announced in CRTC Telecom Public Notice 1983-73 it fs not practicable | tor the Commission to adjudicate a general rate Increase ap- plication prier to February, 1985. iflhe rate incradses requested herein are approved effective July 1, 1964, the Company esti- mates that its rate of return on common equity will be about - . 18.5% for the calendar year 1984.
