Temporary Relief Measures For Toronto Stock Exchange And TSX Venture Exchange Issuers To End September 30, 2009

In November 2008, Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange introduced measures granting temporary relief from some of their requirements to assist listed issuers during the difficult market conditions. In March 2009, some of these measures were then extended to September 30, 2009. The Exchanges today announced that these temporary relief measures will not be extended.
