Standard & Poor’s Announces Amendments To The S&P/TSX Canadian Bond Index Rebalancing Report For June 2006

Date 29/06/2006

Standard & Poor’s has completed the monthly rebalancing of the S&P/TSX Canadian Bond Index. According to index methodology, the universe of Canadian bonds is exhaustively reviewed to reflect changes in par amount and term to existing index constituents. Qualifying new issues are added to the index and existing constituents that no longer meet the criteria for inclusion are removed.

A complete list of bond issues entering and leaving the S&P/TSX Canadian Bond Index after the close of June 30, 2006, as a result of the review follows at the end of this release.

Additions to and deletions from the S&P/TSX Canadian Bond Index do not in any way reflect an opinion on the investment merits of the issuers concerned.
