This intricate spider web of multilevel ownership through various classes of shares was tabled by BCE and Teachers at the recent CRTC Public Hearings in a document entitled: "Reference Materials Regarding Control-in-Fact Issues for the CRTC"

“the administration of a plan shall not, directly or indirectly, invest the moneys of the plan in the securities of a corporation to which are attached more than 30% of the votes that may be cast to elect the directors of the corporation”.
Meanwhile the CRTC doesn't appear so easily wowed with the actual "control-in-fact" circumstances of this proposed arrangement:
