As you know, we were co-operating to the fullest extent possible with the investigating authorities, and we were confident that there was no substance to the allegations. Accordingly, it is with great pleasure that I inform all of you that the Competition Bureau has announced in a press release, that the alleged offences under the Competition Act were unsubstantiated and that the Competition Bureau has closed the inquiry. To quote the Competition Bureau, "The evidence suggests that the companies were employing independent business strategies and were not colluding on bids." I want to thank everyone for their co-operation in dealing with this disruptive matter. Regards, Peter
