DATED MARCH 28, 2005

ANNUAL MEETING OF UNITHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MAY 9, 2005





ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION



Solicitation of Proxy



This Management Information Circular and Proxy Statement (the Circular) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of management (Management) of Paramount Energy Operating Corp. (the Administrator) for Paramount Energy Trust (PET or the Trust), for use at the annual meeting and any adjournment of the meeting (the Meeting) of the holders (the Unitholders) of trust units of the Trust (Trust Units) to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set out in the notice of annual meeting of Unitholders (Notice of Meeting).



The Notice of Meeting and Circular are accompanied by an instrument of proxy (Instrument of Proxy).  The Instrument of Proxy is solicited by Management.  The solicitation will be made primarily by mail but also may be in person, by telephone or via the internet.  The cost of solicitation by Management will be paid by PET.



Record Date



The Unitholders of record at the close of business on March 24, 2005 (the Record Date) are entitled to notice of and to attend at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and to one vote per Trust Unit held on any ballot at the Meeting.



Appointment of Proxy



The persons named in the Instrument of Proxy are directors of the board (the Board) of the Administrator.  A Unitholder desiring to appoint some other person (who need not be a Unitholder) to represent such Unitholder at the Meeting may do so by striking out the designated names and inserting such person's name in the blank space provided in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy or by completing another proper instrument of proxyand, in either case, delivering the completed proxy to PETs transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada  (Computershare) at Computershare Investor Services Inc., 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, Attention:  Proxy Department, in the enclosed self-addressed envelope, at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the commencement of the Meeting.

Revocation of Appointment

A Unitholder who has signed and returned the enclosed Instrument of Proxy may revoke it (a) by signing a proxy bearing a later date and delivering same to PETs transfer agent, Computershare at Computershare Investor Services Inc., at the above address at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the commencement of the Meeting or (b) as to any matter on which a vote shall not already have been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by such proxy, by written notice of revocation and delivering it to the Chair of the Meeting, or (c) by attending and voting at the Meeting.



Voting of Proxy



The Trust Units represented by the Instrument of Proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Unitholder on any ballot that may be called for.  If the Unitholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon the Trust Units will be voted accordingly.  If a choice is not specified, the person designated by

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR





---





Management in the accompanying Instrument of Proxy will vote the Trust Units represented by the Instrument of Proxy in favour of each matter identified.



Exercise of Discretion by Proxy



The enclosed Instrument of Proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named in the Instrument of Proxy with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and to any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting.  At the time of printing of this Circular, Management knows of no such amendment, variation or matter to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the enclosed Notice of Meeting.  If other matters do properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy to vote such proxy in their best judgment.



Notice to Beneficial Holders of Trust Units



The information in this section is of significant importance to many Unitholders as a substantial number of Unitholders do not hold Trust Units in their own name.  Unitholders who do not hold their Trust Units in their own name (referred to in this Circular as Beneficial Unitholders) should note that only proxies deposited by Unitholders whose names appear on the records as the registered holders of Trust Units can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting.  If Trust Units are listed in an account statement provided to a Unitholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Trust Units will not be registered in the Unitholders name on the records.  Such Trust Units will more likely be registered under the name of the Unitholders broker or an agent of that broker.  In Canada, the vast majority of such Trust Units are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities), which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms.  PET does not know for whose benefit the Trust Units registered in the name of CDS & Co. are held.  In the United States, Trust Units are often registered under the name of CEDE & Co. (the registration name for The Depository Trust Companies), which acts as nominee for many U.S. brokerage firms.  Trust Units held by brokers or their nominees can only be voted upon the instructions of the Beneficial Unitholder.  Without specific instructions, a broker/nominee is prohibited from voting Trust Units for its clients.



Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Unitholders in advance of Unitholders meetings.  Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions.  These instructions should be carefully followed by Beneficial Unitholders in order to ensure that their Trust Units are voted at the Meeting.  Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Unitholder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided to registered Unitholders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Unitholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Unitholder.  The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to ADP Investor Communications (ADP).  ADP typically mails a scannable voting instruction form (Voting Instruction Form) in lieu of the form of proxy.  The Beneficial Holder is requested to complete and return the Voting Instruction Form to ADP by mail or facsimile.  Alternatively the Beneficial Unitholder can call a toll-free telephone number to vote the Trust Units held by the Beneficial Unitholder.  ADP then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Trust Units to be represented at the Meeting.  A Beneficial Unitholder receiving a Voting Instruction Form cannot use that Voting Instruction Form to vote Trust Units directly at the Meeting as the Voting Instruction Form must be returned as directed by ADP well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Trust Units voted.



Trust Units



As at the Record Date, 66,232,782 Trust Units were issued and outstanding.  Unitholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to attend at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and to one vote per Trust Unit held on any ballot at the Meeting.  No person acquiring Trust Units after the Record Date shall be entitled to vote those Trust Units at the Meeting.  When any Trust Unit is held jointly by several persons, any one of them may vote at the Meeting in person or by proxy in respect of the Trust Unit.  If, however, more than one of them shall be present at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and such joint owners disagree as to any vote to be cast, the joint owner whose name appears first in the register of Unitholders maintained by the transfer agent of PET shall be entitled to cast the vote in person or by proxy.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE MEETING

The consolidated audited financial statements will be presented at the Meeting for consideration.



Re-Appointment of Computershare as Trustee of PET



The trust indenture establishing PET (the Trust Indenture) provides for annual meetings of Unitholders.  The business transacted at an annual meeting shall include the appointment or reappointment of a successor to the Trustee.  The Unitholders will consider an ordinary resolution to reappoint Computershare as trustee of PET to hold office until the end of the next annual meeting.  Computershare has been trustee of the Trust since its formation on June 28, 2002.



UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED, THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE INSTRUMENT OF PROXY, IF NAMED AS PROXY, INTEND TO VOTE PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF REAPPOINTING COMPUTERSHARE AS TRUSTEE OF THE TRUST.



Instructions to Trustee as to fixing the number of and electing directors of the Administrator.



The business transacted at an annual meeting shall include the authorization and direction of the passing of a resolution of PET, in its capacity as the sole shareholder of the Administrator, for the election of the directors of the Administrator.  The Unitholders will consider an ordinary resolution to authorize and direct the Trustee, on behalf of PET, to pass a resolution fixing the number of directors of the Administrator at six (6) and to pass a resolution electing the directors of the Administrator.



Each director of the Administrator elected by the Trustee as directed by the Unitholders will hold office until the next annual meeting of the Administrator or until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed.

Except as disclosed below, no director or officer of the Administrator, or a shareholder holding a sufficient number of securities of the Administrator to affect materially the control of the Administrator is, or within the last ten years has been, a director, officer or promoter of any reporting issuer that, while such person was acting in that capacity, was the subject of a cease trade or similar order or an order that denied the reporting issuer access to any statutory exemption for a period of more than 30 consecutive days or, within a year of such person ceasing to act in that capacity or within 10 years prior to the date of this Circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of that person.



Mr. Peltier was a director and president of a publicly traded company, Granisko Resources Inc. (Granisko), from April 3, 1995 to August 11, 1995, having been appointed under a management services contract, which included indemnification provisions, as operational manager (with the approval of Granisko's major creditor).  He was appointed by a special investigative committee of Granisko's board of directors established by Granisko's major creditor after the occurrence of defaults under Granisko's loan agreements.  Before debt restructuring could be approved by shareholders, additional defaults occurred and the major creditor took steps to have a court of competent jurisdiction appoint a receiver/manager.  Mr. Peltier resigned on August 11, 1995, the same date the receiver/manager was appointed.  A cease trade order respecting the securities of Granisko was subsequently issued by the securities regulatory authorities.

Unit Incentive Plan



PET has established a unit incentive plan (the Unit Incentive Plan) which permits the Administrators board of directors to grant non-transferable incentive rights to purchase Trust Units (Incentive Rights) to PETs employees, officers, directors and other service providers.  The purpose of the Unit Incentive Plan is to provide an effective long term incentive to eligible participants and to reward them on the basis of long term performance and distributions.



The Board administers the Unit Incentive Plan and determines participants in the Unit Incentive Plan, numbers of Incentive Rights granted and the terms of vesting of Incentive Rights.  The grant price of the Incentive Rights (Grant Price) must be equal to the per Trust Unit closing price on the trading date immediately preceding the date of grant, unless otherwise permitted.  The holder of the Incentive Rights may elect to reduce the strike price of the Incentive Rights (Strike Price).  Upon election, the Administrator would reduce the Strike Price by deducting from the Grant Price the aggregate amounts of all distributions on a per Trust Unit basis that the Trust pays Unitholders after the date of grant which represent a return of more than 2.5% per quarter on the Trusts consolidated net fixed assets on its balance sheet at each calendar quarter end.



Incentive Rights are exercisable for a maximum of 10 years from the date of the grant thereof and are subject to early termination upon the holder ceasing to be an eligible participant, or upon the death of the holder.  In the case of early termination, a holder is entitled, from the date the holder ceased to be an eligible participant to the earlier of 60 days and the end of the exercise period, to exercise vested Incentive Rights.  The holder may exercise such Incentive Rights at the Strike Price in effect at the time the holder ceased to be an eligible participant.  In the case of death, the estate of the holder is entitled from the date of death to the earlier of 6 months and the end of the exercise period to exercise vested Incentive Rights at the Strike Price in effect at the date of death.  Incentive Rights not vested at the date of termination of the holder or at date of the holders death are immediately null and void.



PET has reserved 3,822,461 Trust Units for issuance under the Unit Incentive Plan.  The number of Trust Units reserved for issuance under the Unit Incentive Plan may only be increased with the Unitholders approval and any necessary regulatory approval.  The Unit Incentive Plan contains provisions for adjustments to the number of Trust Units issuable under the plan and the Strike Price of the Trust Units in the event of a subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or change to the Trust Units.  The Unit Incentive Plan provides for accelerated vesting of Incentive Units if there is a change of control of PET, Paramount Operating Trust or the Administrator.



A summary of the Incentive Rights granted to the Named Executive Officers pursuant to the Unit Incentive Plan during the most recently completed financial year is contained in the following table.

Report on Executive Compensation



The principal mandate of the Compensation Committee is to ensure that compensation policies are fair, equitable, and competitive with other natural resource companies in order to attract, retain and motivate a highly qualified workforce and provide career opportunities within the Trust.  The compensation practice for executives is built around reward systems that recognize financial results and individual performance and ensure the incentive mechanism of remuneration is well aligned with the interests of the Unitholders.  Currently, two primary components comprise the compensation program:  base salary and long-term incentives provided through periodic grants of Incentive Rights.



The Compensation Committee is comprised of Clayton. H. Riddell, Donald. J. Nelson, and Karen. A. Genoway.  Karen A. Genoway is Chair of the Compensation Committee.



Clayton H. Riddell is the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and a director of PET.



Base Salary



Base ranges are established by the Chairman of the Board and the Compensation Committee.  This is the same method used for all salaried employees and is intended to ensure internal pay equity practices are established.  The base rates are intended to be competitive in the market applicable to PETs business and are intended to allow the organization to recruit and retain qualified employees.  The Compensation Committee obtains data from a compensation survey prepared by an independent consultant who regularly reviews compensation practices in Canada to support the development of PETs competitive plans.



Long-term Incentives



PETs long-term incentive plan consists of Incentive Rights granted under the Unit Incentive Plan.  Incentive Rights expire ten years after the grant date.  Annual grants are approved by the Board.  The number of Incentive Rights granted is based on the continued good performance of the executive officer.  The Unit Incentive Plan is described in greater detail under Unit Incentive Plan.



Chief Executive Officer



The Board conducts an annual performance review of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) including an assessment of his leadership qualities, execution and results relative to the strategic plan prepared in consultation with the Board.  While the CEOs performance was positive and the Trusts performance was strong, the CEO was not awarded a salary increase for 2004.  This is based on the fact that the CEO devotes 33% of his business time on efforts pertaining to the Trust.  Several of the CEOs obligations are handled by the President and Chief Operating Officer.

The CEOs salary is in the low range for similarly sized oil and gas companies.



Compensation of Directors



Outside directors receive annual compensation in the amount of $10,000.  They also receive $1,000 for each meeting attended including regular Board meetings, special Board meetings and committee meetings.



Summary



In summary, the philosophy of the Compensation Committee is to administer an executive compensation plan that provides a competitive base salary together with performance awards that the Compensation Committee believes are in the best interests of Unitholders.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS



There were no material interests, direct or indirect, of any informed person of the Trust, any proposed director of the Trust, or any associate or affiliate of an informed person or proposed director of the Administrator or any Unitholder who beneficially owns more than 10% of the Trust Units or any known associate or affiliate of such persons, in any transaction during 2004 or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect PET or the Administrator other than (i) certain insiders purchasing Trust Units and convertible debentures under the public offerings of such securities completed during 2004, and (ii) as disclosed in this Circular.



CORPORATE GOVERNANCE



In 1995, the Toronto Stock Exchange (the TSX) established that each issuer that is listed on the TSX must disclose, on an annual basis, its approach to corporate governance with specific reference to fourteen (14) guidelines (the Guidelines).  The Guidelines address such matters as the constitution and independence of board of directors, the functions to be performed by the board and its committees, and the relationship among a corporations board, management and shareholders.  The table below is a description of PETs corporate governance practices and PETs compliance with the existing Guidelines.   The Corporate Governance Committee has also reviewed the corporate governance guidelines suggested in the Version 1.0 of the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance paper and the new proposed governance guidelines circulated by Canadian securities regulators.  The Trust complies with the majority of the established guidelines and will continue to monitor the discussion on the recommendations for corporate governance.



The Board and the Corporate Governance Committee are dedicated to the continuing improvement of PETs corporate governance practices to ensure the interests of the Board and management are aligned with its unitholders.  Unitholders may contact any member of the Board at any time: Ms. Susan Riddell Rose (403) 269-4442 or sue.rose@paramountenergy.com, Mr. Clay Riddell (403) 290-3623 or

Committees of the Board should generally be composed of unrelated directors.                                                                                                                                                                                                   | Yes                    | The Audit Committee, Reserve Committee and Corporate Governance Committee are made up entirely of unrelated Directors.

The Environmental, Health and Safety Committee and Compensation Committee each have two unrelated directors and one related director.  The Board believes that the one related director adds the familiarity of the organization, which benefits the review and decision process of these two committees.  This matter will be reviewed on an annual basis.                                               
|10.
The Board should assume responsibility for, or appoint a committee responsible for, the Trusts approach to governance issues.

|11.
The Board, together with the CEO, should develop position descriptions for the Board and the CEO, including the limits to managements responsibilities.  In addition, the Board should approve or develop the corporate objectives which the CEO is responsible for meeting. | Yes                    | The Board has adopted a Corporate Governance Manual which outlines the roles and responsibilities of the Board, its committees and management.

The Board on an annual basis reviews the Trusts objectives for which the COO/President and senior management are responsible.

The Board should have in place appropriate structures and procedures to ensure that the Board can function independently of management.                                                                                                                                                                                 | Yes                    | The Board has established five committees, each of which are chaired by an unrelated director.  The unrelated directors are empowered to enlist outside expertise on any special project or acquisition.  In order to carry out its duties, the Board has determined that all committees can and do meet with outside experts independently of management, including but not limited to the auditors and reserve evaluators.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|13.
The Audit Committee should be composed only of unrelated directors.  The roles and responsibilities of this committee should provide appropriate guidance to its members as to their duties and have direct communication with the internal and external auditors to discuss and review specific issues as appropriate. | Yes                    | The Audit Committee consists of three unrelated directors who monitor the audit functions, the preparation of financial statements and engage and oversee the work of the external auditors independent of management.  The Audit Committee meets following each quarter to review the interim financial reports and MD&A of PET.  The Audit Committee also convenes to review and recommend the Trusts annual financial statements to the Board for its approval.

The Reserve Committee consists of three unrelated directors who engage and oversee the work of the reserve evaluator, to consider and review the overall preparation and scope of the evaluation, and reviews the qualifications, experience and independence of the independent evaluator who prepares such reports and its compliance to standards of disclosure set out in National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities.

The Board should implement a system to enable individual directors to engage external advisors at the Trusts expense in appropriate circumstances.                                                                                                                                                                     | Yes                    | When required, unrelated Directors are empowered to engage outside expertise or advisors on any matter, at the expense of the Trust, with the prior approval of the Board.  In the past, the unrelated Directors have engaged outside experts to evaluate a non-arms length transaction acquired by the Trust.
