(``Issuer''), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d)

    On October 11, 2005, the Board of Directors (``Board'') of the 
Issuer unanimously approved a resolution to withdraw the Security from 
listing on Amex and list the Security on the New York Stock Exchange, 
Inc. (``NYSE''). The Issuer stated that the Board believes moving to 
NYSE will provide greater access to capital markets, improve the 
visibility and liquidity of the Security, and provide a platform for 
anticipated future growth.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
effect in the Province of Alberta, Canada, in which it is organized, 
and by providing written notice of withdrawal to Amex.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Security from listing on Amex, and shall not affect its continued 
listing on NYSE or its obligation to be registered under Section 12(b) 
of the Act.\3\
