ORDER
(Section 144)
Background
On April 21, 2010, the Director made an order under paragraph 2 of subsection 127(1) of the Act (the Cease Trade Order) that all trading in and all acquisitions of securities of the Reporting Issuer, whether direct or indirect, shall cease until further order by the Director.
The Order was made because the Reporting Issuer was in default of certain filing requirements under Ontario securities law as described in the Cease Trade Order.
The Reporting Issuer has applied to the Ontario Securities Commission under section 144 of the Act for a revocation of the Cease Trade Order.
Representations
This order is based on the following facts represented by the Reporting Issuer:
1. The Reporting Issuer is a reporting issuer under the securities legislation of the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.
2. The Reporting Issuer has filed all outstanding continuous disclosure documents that are required to be filed under Ontario securities law.
3. The Reporting Issuer has paid all outstanding activity, participation and late filing fees that are required to be paid.
4. The Reporting Issuer was also subject to similar cease trade orders issued by the Autorité des marchés financiers (the "AMF") and British Columbia Securities Commission ( the "BCSC") as a result of the failure to make the filings described in the Cease Trade Order. The orders issued by the AMF and BCSC were revoked on May 19, 2010.
5. The Reporting Issuer's SEDAR profile and SEDI issuer profile supplement are current and accurate.
Order
The Director is of the opinion that it would not be prejudicial to the public interest to revoke the Cease Trade Order.
It is ordered under section 144 of the Act that the Cease Trade Order is revoked.
Dated at Toronto this 4th day of June, 2010.
