|   | I, Jason McDiarmid, certify that: |
|--------|-----------------------------------|

 

1.          I have            reviewed this Form 10-QSB of Essential Innovations Technology Corp.;

 

2.          Based on            my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or            omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the            circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the            period covered by this report;

 

3.          Based on            my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in            this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results            of operations and cash flows of the small business issuer as of, and for, the periods            presented in this report;

 

4.          The small            business issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for            establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange            Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the small business issuer and have:

 

(a)         designed such            disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures            to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to            the small business issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us            by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is            being prepared;

 

(b)        evaluated the            effectiveness of the small business issuer’s disclosure controls and procedures            and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure            controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on            such evaluation; and

 

(c)         disclosed in            this report any change in the small business issuer’s internal control over            financial reporting that occurred during the small business issuer’s most recent            fiscal quarter (the small business issuer’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of            an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially            affect, the small business issuer’s internal control over financial reporting;            and

 

5.          The small            business issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our            most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the small            business issuer’s auditors and the audit committee of the small business            issuer’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent            functions):

 

(a)         all significant            deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control            over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the small            business issuer’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial            information; and

 

(b)        any fraud, whether or            not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role            in the small business issuer’s internal control over financial            reporting.
