The Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board (CNSOPB) [the “Board”] has made a Call for Bids pursuant to the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Resources Accord Implementation Act, S.C. 1988, c. 28, as amended, and the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Resources Accord Implementation (Nova Scotia) Act, S.N.S. 1987, c. 3, as amended, for two Exploration Licences covering the following parcels of land in the Nova Scotia offshore area (the “Lands”):

Land parcel No. 1 — All petroleum substances in all geological formations

* NAD 1927

Land parcel No. 2 — All petroleum substances in all geological formations

* NAD 1927

Submission of bids

Bids must be received by the Board before 4 p.m., Atlantic Time, on June 24, 2010, at the following address: CALL FOR BIDS No. NS09-1, Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board, T.D. Centre, 6th Floor, 1791 Barrington Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 3K9.

Bids must be in the form attached in the Call for Bids Package as Appendix II, available from the CNSOPB Web site at www.cnsopb.ns.ca and must be submitted in a sealed envelope marked “CALL FOR BIDS No. NS09-1 (Parcel # __ ).”

Each bid must be accompanied by a Bid Deposit in the amount of $10,000, in the form of a certified cheque or bank draft payable to the Receiver General for Canada.

The Bid Deposit of the successful bidder will be returned, without interest, when the Licence Deposit is posted and any outstanding Environmental Studies Research Fund (ESRF) levies are paid.

Bid Deposits will be returned to unsuccessful bidders without interest, following the announcement of the winning bid and the submission to the Board of the Licence Deposit by the successful bidder.

The failure of the successful bidder to post the Licence Deposit within the specified time will result in forfeiture of the Bid Deposit and disqualification of the bid, and in that event the Board may, if it sees fit, award the Exploration Licence to the second highest bidder without making another call for bids.

Bid selection

Bidding on each parcel will be based solely on the amount of money proposed to be expended on the exploration of the respective parcel and on research and development and education and training within Period 1 of the term of the Exploration Licence (“Work Expenditure Bid”), determined in accordance with the schedule of Allowable Expenditures as defined in “Schedule B” of the Exploration Licence.

No other factors will be considered in selecting the winning bid and the Board is not obligated to accept any bid. The minimum bid per parcel that will be considered is $500,000 of work expenditure.

Environment

In accordance with the Legislation, prior to the authorization of any petroleum-related activities on the Lands the operator must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Board that such activities can be conducted in an environmentally safe manner. Special precautions, such as enhanced environmental assessments, more stringent mitigation measures and environmental effects monitoring may be required in some cases.

Upon issuance of the Exploration Licence, the successful bidder must pay ESRF levies under Part VII of the Canada Petroleum Resources Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. 36 (2nd Supp.), for the year in which the licence is issued and retroactive levies for the two preceding years. Thereafter, ESRF levies as fixed from time to time by the federal Minister of Natural Resources will be payable unless the interest owner surrenders the licence prior to the payment due date. Both parcels are in ESRF Region No. 12, Scotian Shelf East. The 2008 and 2009 ESRF levy rates for Parcel No. 1 and Parcel No. 2 would be as follows:

ESRF matters are not administered by the Board, but are the responsibility of the federal Minister of Natural Resources. ESRF levies are determined by multiplying the number of hectares of land included in the licence by the ESRF rate for the applicable region.

Term

The term of each Exploration Licence will be nine years, consisting of two consecutive periods referred to as Period 1 and Period 2.

Period 2 immediately follows Period 1 and consists of the balance of the nine-year term of the licence. In order to validate the licence for Period 2, the drilling of a well must be commenced within Period 1 and diligently pursued to termination in accordance with good oilfield practice.

Licence Deposit

As a condition of issuance of the Exploration Licence, the successful bidder will be required to post a refundable Licence Deposit of $50,000 or one percent (1%) of the Work Expenditure Bid, whichever is greater, in the form of a certified cheque or bank draft payable to the Receiver General for Canada within thirty (30) days of being notified that its bid was successful. This deposit will be refunded in full upon the posting of the Work Deposit, as described below and more particularly described in the form of the Exploration Licence.

Work Deposit

The interest owner will be required to post 25% of the Work Expenditure Bid as security for the performance of work by no later than the third anniversary of the licence. This deposit will be referred to as the Work Deposit. Failure to post the Work Deposit as security for the performance of work will result in the cancellation of the licence and forfeiture of the Licence Deposit. No interest will be earned on this Work Deposit.

This Work Deposit is refundable to the extent of 25% of approved Allowable Expenditures, as more particularly described in the form of the Exploration Licence. Allowable Expenditures approved in the first three years of this Licence will be credited at a rate of 150% and carried forward to offset the Work Deposit to be posted at the end of the third year.

Work Deposits must be in the form of cash or promissory notes payable on demand to the Receiver General for Canada. The promissory note must be accompanied by a bank letter of guarantee issued by a Canadian chartered bank which states its agreement to honour on presentment for payment. The form of the promissory note and bank guarantee must be acceptable to the Board.

The interest owner is not obligated to perform work under the Licence. However, if the interest owner does not perform work in the full amount of its Work Expenditure Bid, the unrefunded balance of the Work Deposit will be forfeited to the Receiver General for Canada upon the expiry, surrender or cancellation of Period 1.

Rentals

No rentals are payable in respect of Period 1. Refundable rentals are payable annually during Period 2 at the following rates:

Rentals will be refunded upon annual application to the Board to the extent of approved Allowable Expenditures incurred during the specific year of Period 2 as more particularly described in the form of Exploration Licence.

Indemnity

Interest Holders are required to at all times jointly and severally indemnify the Board and Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada and in right of the Province of Nova Scotia against all actions, claims and demands that may be brought or made by any person by reason of anything done or omitted to be done under this Licence by, through or under the interest owner or an interest holder, in relation to those portions of the Lands with respect to which they hold shares and all costs that the Board or Her Majesty the Queen may incur in connection with any such action, claim or demand.

For purposes of this section, the expression “Her Majesty the Queen” shall not include any Crown corporation.

Written submissions

The public is invited to submit written comments to the Board on the Lands included in the Call for Bids. Such submissions will be considered by the Board before the issuance of Exploration Licences and must be received by the Board no later than 4 p.m. Atlantic Time, June 10, 2010, at the following address: S.F.

CANADIAN RADIO-TELEVISION AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

REGULATORY POLICY 2009-430-1

Accessibility of telecommunications and broadcasting services — Correction

1. The Commission hereby corrects Broadcasting and Telecom Regulatory Policy 2009-430 by amending paragraph 48 to read as follows (the change is in bold):

As set out in Telecom Order 96-1191 and Telecom Order 98-626, the Commission considers that the provision of certain information to customers is a telecommunications service under section 23 of the Telecommunications Act as it is incidental to the business of providing telecommunications services. In a 1996 Commission Letter Decision with respect to a specific cable distribution undertaking, the Commission noted that the provision to subscribers of bills and information concerning programs and channel line-ups is integral to the functions of a cable distribution undertaking. The Commission remains of the same view and considers this to be equally the case for all BDUs. In this regard, the Commission notes that customer service information ensures that subscribers may benefit fully from the service provided by the BDU.

2. The Commission further corrects Broadcasting and Telecom Regulatory Policy 2009-430 by amending paragraph 108 to read as follows (the change is in bold):

Currently conventional broadcasters must, according to their conditions of licence, fulfil obligations to provide described video with drama, documentaries and children’s programming, which lend themselves well to described video. In order to provide these broadcasters with a measure of flexibility and to take into account requests from persons with disabilities for a wider choice of described programming, the Commission considers it appropriate to add two more categories of programming to those that licensees of conventional television stations may use to fulfil their commitments for described video: 9 Variety and 11 General entertainment and human interest. Therefore, the conditions of licence imposed on conventional television stations from now on will allow them to fulfil their commitments for described video with programming from the following categories: 2(b) Long-form documentary; 7(a) Ongoing Dramatic Series; 7(b) Ongoing comedy series (sitcoms); 7(c) Specials, mini-series or made-for-TV feature films; 7(d) Theatrical feature films aired on TV; 7(e) Animated television programs and films; 7(f) Comedy; 7(g) Other drama; 9 Variety; and 11 General entertainment and human interest, as well as programming targeted to children. Conventional television stations that currently have conditions of licence with respect to described video may apply to amend their conditions of licence to take advantage of this flexibility.

3. Finally, the Commission corrects the French-language version of Broadcasting and Telecom Regulatory Policy 2009-430 by amending paragraph 65 to read as follows (the change is in bold):

Le Conseil incite les FST et toutes les EDR à adopter les Normes W3C du World Wide Web Consortium pour l’accessibilité des contenus Web (les normes W3C) et à en tester l’efficacité auprès des utilisateurs en vue de faciliter dans toute la mesure du possible l’accès des personnes handicapées aux pages de leur site qui concernent le service à la clientèle. Le Conseil exige que les FST, les EDR de classe 1 et les EDR par SRD veillent à ce que l’information sur les produits et services de télécommunication et de radiodiffusion affichée sur leur site web soit suffisamment accessible aux personnes handicapées pour constituer un accommodement raisonnable et qu’ils déterminent la façon de réaliser cet objectif, au plus tard le 23 juillet 2012.
