13. Subsection 4(b) of the Regulation requires the Application for Continuance be accompanied by a consent from the Commission.

AND UPON the Commission being satisfied that to do so would not be prejudicial to the public interest;

THE COMMISSION CONSENTS to the Continuance of the Applicant under the BCBCA.

DATED at Toronto on this 14th day of January, 2020.
