"**Voting	by Non-Registered Shareholders**"**for a description of the**

**procedure to be followed to vote your Shares.	 **

		 

**Q:	Who is soliciting my proxy?**

**A:**This Circular is	furnished in connection with the solicitation by Alcan of Shareholder	proxies to be used at the Meeting to vote your Shares.	The	solicitation of proxies will be made primarily by mail, but may also be made	by electronic means, by telephone or in person. The cost of soliciting	proxies will be borne by Alcan.  Georgeson Shareholder Communications Canada	and Morrow & Co., Inc. have been retained by Alcan in Canada and the United	States, respectively, to assist in the solicitation of proxies from	Shareholders.  For these services, Georgeson Shareholder Communications	Canada and Morrow & Co., Inc. are expected to receive, from Alcan, fees of	approximately Can. $25,000 and	$10,000, respectively, plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses. In	addition, employees of Alcan may solicit proxies without compensation.  CIBC	Mellon is responsible for the tabulation of proxies.

		 

**Q: 	What am I voting on?**

**A:  **	Shareholders will be	voting on:
-  the election	of Directors; 
-  the	appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Auditors and authorization	given to the Directors to fix the Auditors' remuneration; and 
-  a	Shareholder Proposal.

**Q: 	How will these matters be decided at the meeting?**

**A:  **	A simple majority of	the votes cast, by proxy or in person, will carry each of the matters	specified in this Circular.

	 

**Q: 		What documents are available to shareholders?**

**A:  **	The documents	available to Shareholders are the Alcan 2005 annual report to Shareholders,	which includes the audited consolidated financial statements, management's	discussion and analysis thereof and this Circular. 	Registered Shareholders will also receive the form of proxy, a consent	form for electronic delivery of documents and a voting instruction letter.** **

	 

Copies of Alcan's annual report on Form  10-K	and audited consolidated financial statements filed with the Canadian and	U.S. securities regulators can be found on the Company's Internet site at	www.alcan.com	or may be obtained, without charge, on request from the Corporate Secretary	of Alcan, 1188 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3A 3G2.

**Q:  Who is entitled to vote?**

**A:  **On 27 February 2006, 373,693,379 Shares were outstanding.		Shareholders of record as of the close of business on that date ("Record		Date") are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and either they or		their duly appointed proxyholders will be entitled to attend the Meeting		and vote.

Each holder of Shares is entitled to one vote at	the Meeting for each Share issued in his or her name at the close of	business on the Record Date.

	 

**Q:  How do I vote?**

**A:  **	There are four ways that you can vote your Shares if you are a registered	Shareholder. (1) You may vote in person at the Meeting, (2) you may complete	and sign the enclosed form of proxy appointing the named persons or another	person you choose to represent you and to vote your Shares at the Meeting,	(3) you may forward your proxy electronically, or (4) you may forward your	proxy by telephone.** **

Completing, signing and returning your form of	proxy does not preclude you from attending the Meeting in person.  If	you do not wish to attend the Meeting or do not wish to vote in person, your	proxy will be voted or be withheld from voting, in accordance with your	wishes as specified on your proxy, on any ballot that may be called at the	Meeting.  If the Shareholder is a body corporate or association, the	form of proxy must be signed by a person duly authorized by that body	corporate or association.  ** **

To forward your proxy electronically, you must	go to the following Internet site: www.eproxyvoting.com/alcan, enter your	personalized e-voting control number located on your form of proxy and	follow the instructions.

To vote your proxy by telephone (in Canada and	the U.S. only), you must call 

1-866-271-1207.** **

If your Shares are registered in the name of a	nominee, please see "Voting by Non-Registered Shareholders" on page	5.** **

**Q:  What if I plan to attend the meeting and vote in person?**

**A: **	If you plan to attend the Meeting on 27 April 2006 and wish to vote your	Shares in person at the Meeting, it is not necessary for you to complete or	return the form of proxy.  Your vote will be taken and counted at the	Meeting.  Please register with the transfer agent, CIBC Mellon, upon	arrival at the Meeting. 

**3**

Your participation in	person in a vote by ballot at the Meeting would automatically revoke any	proxy that you had previously given in respect of business covered by that	vote. Non-registered Shareholders	wishing to attend the Meeting should refer to "Voting by Non-Registered	Shareholders" on page			5.

** **

**Q: 	What happens when I sign and return	the form of proxy?**

**A: **Signing the enclosed	proxy gives authority to the named proxyholders on the form, or to another	person you have appointed, to vote your Shares at the Meeting in accordance	with the voting instructions you provide.

			 

**Q: 	Can I appoint someone other than the	named proxyholders to vote my shares?**

**A:  **Yes. Write the name	of your chosen person, who need not be a Shareholder, in the blank space	provided in the form of proxy.  It is important to ensure that any other	person you appoint is attending the Meeting and is aware that his or her	appointment has been made to vote your Shares. Proxyholders should, upon	their arrival at the Meeting, present themselves to a representative of CIBC	Mellon.  Please note that if you choose to forward your proxy electronically	or by telephone, only the named proxyholders may be appointed.

			 

**Q:	What do I do with my completed form	of proxy?**

**A:  **Return it to the	transfer agent, CIBC Mellon, in the envelope provided, or forward it by	telecopier to (416) 368-2502, so that it arrives no later than 5:00 p.m. EDT	on 26 April 2006. 

			 

**Q: 	How will my shares be voted if i	return my proxy?**

**A:  **All Shares			represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted or be withheld from	voting, in accordance with your instructions as specified in the proxy, on	any ballot that may be called at the Meeting. The named proxyholders in	the form of proxy will vote or withhold from voting your Shares in	accordance with your instructions. **In the absence of such instructions,	however, your Shares will be voted FOR the election of the Directors, FOR	the appointment of the Auditors and AGAINST the Shareholder Proposal.**

			 

**Q: 	If I change my mind, can I take back	my proxy once I have given it?**

**A:  **Yes. A Shareholder	who has given a proxy may revoke it with an instrument in writing which	includes another proxy with a later date, executed by the Shareholder or by	the Shareholder's attorney authorized in writing and delivered to CIBC	Mellon,	200	Queen's Quay East, Unit 6, Toronto, Ontario, M5A 4K9, Canada or by	telecopier at (416) 368-2502,	no later than 5:00	p.m. EDT on 26 April 2006, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of	the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The participation in person by a Shareholder in	a vote by ballot at the Meeting would automatically revoke any proxy that	has been previously given by the Shareholder in respect of business covered	by that vote.

			 

**Q: 	What if amendments are made to these	matters or if other matters are brought before the meeting?**

**A: **The persons named in	the form of proxy will have discretionary authority with respect to	amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Annual	Meeting and to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. As	of the date of this Circular, the management of Alcan knows of no such	amendment, variation or other matter expected to come before the Meeting. If	any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the persons named in the	form of proxy will vote on them in accordance with their best judgment.

** **

**Q: 	Who are the principal shareholders of	the company?**

**A:**  	To the knowledge of the Directors and Executive Officers of the Company, no	person or company beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over	more than 10% of the outstanding Shares of the Company. Capital Group	International, Inc. has reported to the U.S. Securities and Exchange	Commission that it owned 8.6% of Alcan Shares on 31 December 2005.

**Voting by non-registered shareholders**

** **

**Q: If my shares are not registered in my name but are held in the			name of an intermediary (a bank, trust company, securities broker,			trustee, etc.), how do I vote my shares?**

**A: **Non-registered or beneficial Shareholders are not personally listed			in Alcan's Share register. Their Shares are held in the name of an			intermediary or a "nominee", which is usually a trust company,			securities broker or other financial institution. If you are a			non-registered Shareholder, there are two ways that you can vote			your Shares held in the name of your nominee: 

		 

**1)  By providing voting instructions to your nominee**

** **

Applicable			securities laws require your nominee to seek voting instructions			from you in advance of the Meeting.  Accordingly, you will receive			or have already received from your nominee either a request for			voting instructions or a form of proxy for the number of Shares you			hold. Every nominee has its own mailing procedures and provides its			own signing and return instructions, which should be carefully			followed by non-registered Shareholders to ensure that their Shares			are voted at the Meeting.

		 

**2)  By attending the Meeting in person**

		 

The Company generally does not have access to the names of its			non-registered Shareholders. Therefore, if you attend the Meeting,			the Company will have no record of your shareholdings or of your			entitlement to vote unless your nominee has appointed you as			proxyholder.

If you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, insert your own name			in the space provided on the request for voting instructions or form			of proxy to appoint yourself as proxyholder. Then follow the signing			and return instructions provided by your nominee. Non-registered			Shareholders who instruct their nominee to appoint themselves as			proxyholders should, at the Meeting, present themselves to a			representative of CIBC Mellon.

Corporate Governance Practices	
Alcan has rigorous corporate governance	practices, which the Board and management believe are essential to the	success of the Company and to the enhancement of Shareholder value.  The	Common Shares are listed on the Toronto, New York, London, Paris and Swiss	stock exchanges and Alcan, in addition to making the required filings with	Canadian securities regulators, files periodic and current reports with the			U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, Alcan is subject to	a variety of corporate governance and disclosure requirements.  Alcan's	corporate governance practices meet or exceed National Instrument 58-101	"Disclosure	of Corporate Governance Practices"	adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA	Disclosure Practices") and	regulatory requirements and	ensure transparency and effective governance of the Company.  

			 

Alcan's Board regularly reviews its corporate governance practices in light	of developing requirements and practices in this field.  As new provisions	come into effect, the Board will reassess its corporate governance practices	and implement changes where appropriate.

			 

The following is an overview of Alcan's corporate governance practices.

The Board has the	responsibility for the stewardship of the Company, including the	responsibility to require that it is managed in the interest of its	Shareholders as a whole, while taking into account the interests of other	stakeholders.

			 

The Board supervises the management of the business and affairs of the	Company and discharges its duties and obligations in accordance with the	provisions of (a) the CBCA, (b) the Company's articles of incorporation and	by-laws, (c) the Company's *Worldwide Code of Employee and Business	Conduct*, (d) the charters of the Board and committees of the Board, and (e)	other applicable legislation and Company policies.

			 

The Company's corporate governance practices require that, in addition to	its statutory duties, the following matters be subject to Board approval:	(1) capital expenditure budgets and significant investments and divestments,	(2) the Company's strategic and value-maximizing plans, (3) the number of	Directors within the limits provided in the Company's articles of	incorporation, and (4) any matter which may have the potential for important	impact on the Company. 

			 

**Composition of the Board**

*** ***

The Nominating	Committee, a sub-committee of the Corporate Governance Committee**described**below, recommends candidates for election to the Board. 	Nominees are selected as potential representatives of Shareholders as a	whole and not as representatives of any particular Shareholder or group of	Shareholders.  Alcan does not have a significant or controlling Shareholder.

			 

			 

The Board's objective,	in respect to its composition, is to have members possessing an appropriate	mix of skills, knowledge and experience and to have an understanding of the	regions in which the Company operates. The Board's expectations in relation	to its members and a statement of its corporate governance principles are	set out in the Board charter. The Board is satisfied that its number of	Directors enables effective	decision-making.  The charter of the Board of Directors is reviewed	annually and is posted on Alcan's Internet site (www.alcan.com)	and is attached to this Proxy Circular as Schedule A. 

According to their	mandates as set out in their charters, the Board and each of its committees	may engage outside advisors at the expense of the Company.

The Board charter	provides that Directors who reach the age of 72 prior to the annual meeting	of Shareholders in any year shall retire at that meeting. 

**Independence of the Board**

Care is taken to ensure	that the Board of Directors is constituted of a substantial majority of	individuals who qualify as Directors who are independent of management, in	accordance with regulatory and stock exchange requirements.

To assist in determining	the independence of its members, the Board has established *Guidelines on	the Independence of the Directors of Alcan Inc.* ("Guidelines on	Independence"), a copy of which is available on Alcan's Internet site.			

The definition of an	Independent Director under the Guidelines on Independence encompasses the	definition of an "independent" director within the meaning of the CSA	Disclosure Practices and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Such a	Director must not have any material relationship with Alcan, either directly	or as a partner, shareholder or officer of a company that has a relationship	with Alcan and must not have any interest or relationship which could reasonably be	perceived to interfere with his or her ability to act with a view to the	best interests of Alcan (an "Independent Director").

The Guidelines on	Independence also establish an additional, more stringent, definition of	independence for members of the Audit, Human Resources and Nominating	Committees. This heightened definition of independence conforms to the	audit committee member independence qualification within the meaning of SOX. To meet SOX audit committee qualification, a director must not,	directly or indirectly, accept any consulting, advisory or other	compensatory fee from the company and not be an affiliated person of the	company or any subsidiary other than in such director's capacity as a member	of the board or any committee.

 
 

**10**

The present Board is	composed of fifteen	Directors. 	Travis Engen is President and CEO of Alcan; Richard B. Evans is Executive	Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Alcan.  Except for Messrs.	Engen and Evans, all Directors are Independent Directors. In particular, the	Board has determined that Mrs. Morin-Postel and Messrs. Berger, Desautels,	Fortier, Jacamon, Loomis, Mansion, Morgan, Ruding, Saint-Pierre, Schulmeyer,	Tellier and Wong are Independent Directors. Messrs. Engen and Loomis are not	standing for re-election as Directors. To assist the Board with its	determination, all Directors annually complete a detailed questionnaire	about their business relationships.

		 

The Board has a	non-executive Chairman (Mr. Fortier); the Board has had a non-executive	Chairman since 1995 and believes that the separation of the positions of CEO	and Chairman contributes to allowing the Board to function independently of	management.  The Board charter describes the responsibilities of the	Chairman of the Board and the chairmen of the committees of the Board.

		 

Mr. Fortier is a senior	partner of Ogilvy Renault, one of a number of law firms that provide legal	services for the Company. Ogilvy Renault had provided legal services to the	Company for many years prior to Mr. Fortier becoming a Director and Mr.	Fortier is not involved in any legal services rendered to Alcan. Ogilvy	Renault has confirmed that fees for all legal services rendered by it for Alcan in	each of the past five years amount to less than 2% of Ogilvy Renault's	annual revenues. Accordingly, the relationship with the law firm is not	considered to be material in accordance with applicable stock exchange	rules. The Board has determined, in accordance with the Guidelines on	Independence, that the services rendered are not material to the Company or	to Ogilvy Renault and, accordingly, that Mr. Fortier is an Independent	Director. However, because of the Company's relationship with Ogilvy Renault	and retention of the SOX audit committee qualification for members of the	Audit, Human Resources and Nominating Committees, Mr. Fortier is not a	member of those committees. 

		 

The Guidelines on	Independence establish that no more than two Directors may serve together on	the board of another publicly traded company. None of the Directors	currently serve together on the board of any other publicly traded company.

		 

**Committees**

** **

The Board has	established four committees, each of which is constituted by its own	charter, by which the Board delegates certain of its functions as	hereinafter set out.  Each committee is made up solely of Independent	Directors.

The		committees of the Board are: the Corporate Governance Committee, the Audit	Committee, the Human Resources Committee and the Environment, Health and	Safety Committee.  The Nominating Committee is constituted as a	sub-committee of the Corporate Governance Committee.

		 

The committee charters are reviewed annually and are posted on Alcan's	Internet site.

		 

***Corporate Governance	Committee***

* *

The Corporate Governance Committee has the broad responsibility of regularly	reviewing corporate governance practices in general within Alcan.

		 

One of the Committee's main duties is to maintain an overview of the	composition and size of the Board.  The charter of the Corporate Governance	Committee provides that a sub-committee, as hereinafter described, is	responsible for nominating new Directors.  The Committee develops position	descriptions for the Board of Directors, the Chairman and the chairman of	each committee. These descriptions are included in the charter of the Board.	The Committee has developed a CEO position description which is posted on	Alcan's Internet site. In the Guidelines on Independence, the Committee has	developed standards to be applied in making determinations as to the	presence or absence of material relationships between the Company and a	Director.

		 

The	Corporate Governance Committee assesses and ensures on an annual basis the	effectiveness of the Board as a whole, of each committee of the Board and of	the contribution of individual Directors, including the CEO.  Each Director	completes a survey of Board and committee effectiveness on an annual basis	which covers the subjects under the categories of Board composition,	responsibility, meetings and committees. As part of this survey, each	Director also completes a self-evaluation and an evaluation of other	individual members of the Board.  The Committee also assesses the Board's	relationship with management and recommends, where necessary, limits on	management's authority to act without explicit Board approval.

		 

***Nominating Committee***

		 

The Nominating Committee	is a sub-committee of the Corporate Governance Committee, composed entirely	of Independent Directors. It reviews candidates for nomination as Directors	and these nominees will be recommended as candidates for election to the	Board. The delegation of responsibilities to the Committee is provided in	the charter of the Corporate Governance Committee. 

		 

When reviewing candidates, the Committee takes into consideration factors such as skill,	judgment, independence, time availability and business experience of the	individual candidates and their expected contribution to the experience,	diversity and skills set of the Board as a whole. The minimum qualifications	to be met by Directors are established in the Board charter. The Committee	may employ, and has done so in the past, third-party search firms for	identifying and evaluating nominees. Mr. Morgan was recommended for election	to the Board by the Committee following a search conducted by a third-party	search firm.

**11**

Shareholders representing	five per cent of the Shares may propose nominees for election as Directors	by following the procedure set out in the CBCA. Accordingly, there is no	need for Alcan to have a specific policy regarding Board nominees put	forward by Shareholders.

			 

***Audit Committee***

*** ***

This Committee is established in accordance with the requirements of the	CBCA, stock exchange rules and applicable securities laws and regulations	and is composed entirely of Independent Directors.  Its roles and	responsibilities are set out in its charter.  The Committee's main objective	is to provide an effective overview of the Company's financial reporting	process and internal control functions.  It assists the Board in fulfilling	its functions relating to corporate accounting and reporting, as	well as overseeing financial and accounting controls and reviewing and	approving financial statements. The Committee reviews the principal risks of the Company's	business such as volatility in metal prices, raw material and energy costs	and foreign exchange rates and oversees the implementation of appropriate	measures to manage such risks, including policies and standards relating to	risk management. The Committee also oversees pension governance, funding			and investment matters.

			 

With respect to compliance and disclosure matters, the Committee ensures	that the Company has effective procedures relating to the	timely disclosure of	activities that would materially impact its financial statements and that	all potential material claims against the Company have been properly	evaluated, accounted for and disclosed.

			 

The Committee reviews	financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted	accounting principles ("GAAP") and non-GAAP financial information included	within quarterly earnings releases.  It reviews major accounting issues and	expected changes in accounting standards and processes that may impact the	Company.  

			 

The Committee has direct communication with the	Company's Auditors and internal auditors and meets privately on a regular	basis with each of the Auditors, internal auditors and senior members of the	Company's financial management.  The Audit Committee reviews the	Auditors' audit plans, determines their independence and makes	recommendations for the appointment of auditors.  

 
The chairman of	the Committee reviews the terms of engagement of the Auditors and signs the	audit engagement letter.  The Committee also discusses with the Auditors the	quality and not just the acceptability of the Company's accounting	principles and obtains their assurance that the audit was conducted in a	manner consistent with applicable laws and regulations.The Committee receives	regular reports from the Auditors at each of their meetings. 	The Company has a formal	procedure that establishes rules on the Company's employment of the	Auditors' former employees.

			 

The Board determines	each Audit Committee member's financial literacy and whether he or she has	accounting or related financial expertise.  All members of the Audit	Committee have been determined to have the requisite level of financial	literacy, being the ability to understand fully balance sheets, income	statements, cash flow statements and related notes to financial statements.

The Board has determined	that at least one member of the Audit Committee, Mr. Desautels, is an audit	committee financial expert for the purposes of s. 407 of SOX. 

			 

Mr. Desautels and Dr.	Ruding each serve on the audit committees of four public companies,	including Alcan's Audit Committee. The Board has determined that their	simultaneous service on other audit committees does not impair the ability	of these Directors to effectively serve on the Company's Audit Committee,	because they have in each case the required time available to serve on audit	committees in question. The Company believes that Mr. Desautels' and Dr.	Ruding's service on the other audit committees is of significant benefit to	it because of the experience such service provides.  

			 

The Audit Committee	reviews the Company's process for monitoring compliance and dealing with	violations of Alcan's *Worldwide Code of Employee and Business Conduct*.	In particular, the Audit Committee has established procedures involving the	Ombudsman's office in relation to complaints or concerns received by the	Company involving accounting or audit matters, including the confidential	and anonymous handling of such complaints and concerns from employees. The	Ombudsman's office has direct means of contact with the Audit Committee. See	Code of Conduct on page			14	and Report of the Audit Committee on page			16.	
*Human Resources Committee*
			 

The Human	Resources Committee has the broad responsibility to review all human	resources policies and employee relations matters and to make recommendations	with respect to such matters to the Board or the CEO, as appropriate.  It is	composed entirely of Independent Directors and its specific roles and	responsibilities are set out in its charter. The Committee will periodically	review the	effectiveness of the Company's overall management organization structure and	succession planning for senior management, review recommendations for the	appointment of Executive Officers, and review and make recommendations to	the Board based on trends and developments in the area of human resources	management.

**12**

The	Committee	establishes the Company's general compensation philosophy and oversees the	development and implementation of compensation policies and programs.  It	also reviews and approves the level of	and/or changes in the compensation of individual Executive Officers, taking	into consideration individual performance and competitive compensation	practices (see Report on Executive Compensation on page		18).	The Committee makes recommendations to the Board on Director compensation.

		 

The Committee engages	its own independent consultants to advise on the compensation practices of	the Company including in comparison with comparator peer groups. Towers Perrin,		the external consultant to the Committee, earned $310,000 in fees related	to work on executive compensation matters for the Committee in 2005. Towers		Perrin also provides consultation services for the Company in the areas		of pensions and human resources organization. The	individuals who provide services to the Committee are excluded from	providing services to the Company.

		 

***Environment, Health and	Safety Committee***

*** ***

This Committee has the responsibility to	review the policy, management practices and performance of Alcan in	environmental, health and safety matters and make recommendations to the	Board on such matters in light of current and changing requirements.  The	Committee also reviews, assesses and provides advice to the Board on	worldwide policy as well as legal, regulatory and consumer trends and developments	related to the environment, as they impact the Company, its employees,	businesses, processes and products.

		 

**Meetings of the Board and Committees**

		 

The Board and the committees meet at pre-set times	throughout the year and as needed.

Engen and Evans attend Committee meetings at      the request of the Committees,	excluding the executive      sessions thereof.
**13**

The Board	and the committees regularly invite members of management to attend meetings	to report on relevant subjects and facilitate communication between the	Directors and management. With respect to the Company's strategic planning	process, the Board discusses and reviews the Company's strategic plans	regularly. At Board meetings, business group or unit strategic plans and	corporate development matters are presented by management and reviewed and	approved by the Board.

		 

There is	no executive committee of the Board.  At the next Board meeting following	each meeting of a committee, the chairman of the committee reports to the	Board on the committee's activities. 	Minutes of committee meetings are provided to all Directors and Directors	have open invitations to attend meetings of committees on which they do not	sit.

		 

At every in‐person	meeting of the Board and, as necessary, during telephone Board meetings, the	Non-Executive Directors meet in executive session, presided by the Chairman,	without senior management and non-Independent Directors being present. The	procedure at in-person meetings is that the Board (including non-Independent	Directors) will meet without members of senior management present, at the	beginning and end of each meeting. In addition, at the end of the meeting,	the Independent Directors will meet without the non-Independent Directors	present. Matters discussed during these sessions are included in the minutes	of the meeting, as appropriate.

		 

The Directors are	expected to attend the annual meetings of Shareholders; all Directors	attended the 2005 annual meeting of Shareholders except for Mr. Ruding who	was unable to attend.

		 

**Information to the Board**

*** ***

Alcan's Corporate	Secretary maintains a *Directors' Manual*which includes among other	items: the articles of incorporation, the by-laws, the Directors' standing	resolutions, the Board and committee charters, Alcan's insider trading,	disclosure, environment, health and safety and competition law compliance	policies, information on Director and Officer indemnification and insurance,	the Guidelines on Independence of Directors, the Shareholder Rights Plan,	the *Worldwide Code of Employee and Business Conduct* and information	on Director responsibilities and liabilities. The information is updated as	necessary.

  

The Corporate Secretary	also maintains a manual for the Audit Committee which includes the	Auditor services pre-approval procedure, the mandate of the Ombudsman (see	below), the mandate of the disclosure committee (see below), the internal	audit department charter, the *Code of Ethics for Senior Financial	Officers* (see below), the Alcan directive on employment relationships	with Auditors and information on Audit Committee financial experts and on	the responsibilities of members of the Audit Committee. Detailed current	information on the Company, its finances and its operations are sent on a	monthly basis to the Directors. 

Particularly important	information requiring urgent attention is conveyed immediately.  New	Directors spend time with members of senior management, including those	involved in Alcan's business operations, so that they can become rapidly	familiar with the Company, its issues, business and operations.

		 

Care is taken to ensure	that new Directors understand the roles and responsibilities of the Board	and its committees, as well as the commitment level that Alcan expects of	its Directors.  Extensive meetings are held annually involving the Board and	management, lasting several days, so that the Directors may become well	acquainted with the Company's businesses and managers. The Company funds	Director education via seminars offered by third parties.

		 

Director visits to Alcan	plants and business locations are organized to give additional insight into	Alcan's business and operations.

 

**Code of Conduct**

* *

Alcan has a *Worldwide	Code of Employee and Business Conduct*that governs all employees of	Alcan as well as the Directors. As an annex to the Code and supplemental	thereto, the Company has adopted a *Code of Ethics for Senior Financial	Officers* including the CEO, the Chief Financial Officer and Controller.	Copies of these documents are posted on the Company's Internet site.	Alcan will promptly disclose any amendments to the codes on its Internet	site. 

		 

The Company has	"whistleblower" procedures so that an employee can anonymously report	concerns that he or she may have regarding compliance with corporate	policies, the *Worldwide Code of Employee and Business Conduct*,	applicable laws or auditing and accounting matters, by contacting the	Ombudsman's office as provided on the Company's intranet site. The	Ombudsman's office can also assist the Audit Committee in the protection of	any employee who complains of retaliation for acting as a whistleblower.		

		 

**Disclosure Controls	and Procedures and Internal Controls**

		 

In accordance with SOX	and Canadian regulatory requirements, the CEO and the Chief Financial	Officer each certify the accuracy and fair presentation of the information	contained in annual and quarterly reports that are filed with regulatory	authorities. 

		 

Applicable rules also	require the design and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures to	ensure that material Company information is communicated to the certifying	officers on a timely basis.

 

The CEO and Chief	Financial Officer certifications also require that the certifying officers	disclose to the Audit Committee and Auditors any significant deficiencies	and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over	financial information that are reasonably likely to adversely affect	financial reporting.
 
**14**

 

To assist in the	certification process, an extensive system of recording and evaluating	disclosure controls and procedures is in place, using business group and	central function risk assessments and back-up certifications. In addition, a	disclosure committee of management has been constituted with responsibility	for the accuracy and timeliness of the disclosure of material information.

		 

The Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2005 contains an assessment of the effectiveness of Alcan's internal control over		financial reporting by management, as required by s. 404 of SOX . Management has	evaluated the effectiveness of these controls and the Auditors have provided	an attestation of management's evaluation of internal control over financial	reporting. 

		 

**Role of management**

*** ***

The Board is not involved in the day-to-day management and functioning of	the Company.  It gives senior management this responsibility, subject to the	Board's overall stewardship responsibilities. 

		 

Alcan management is responsible for conducting the business and operations	of the Company in accordance with a business strategy approved by the Board.

		 

Management's authority to act in certain matters that		could have a significant impact on the Company, including decisions by the CEO, is	subject to prior Board approval as described above. Before being submitted	to the Board, certain matters such as dividends, issuance of securities, annual	reports and significant investment/divestment proposals are prepared and	reviewed by management with external professional advice, as necessary.

**Shareholder/Investor Communications**

*** ***

In order to respond to	Shareholders' questions and concerns, Alcan maintains an experienced	investor relations staff whose responsibility is to provide accurate, timely	and non-selective information and analysis to the investing community in	accordance with Alcan's disclosure policy.  This policy has been established	in compliance with applicable legal disclosure requirements in Canada and in	the U.S and is regularly reviewed.  The investor relations staff	meets periodically with investors and analysts and is accessible to	Shareholders by telephone during business hours.  The quarterly earnings	conference calls with analysts and institutional investors are broadcast	live and are accessible on Alcan's Internet site. These services facilitate	the receiving of Shareholder comments.

		 

Shareholders and other interested parties may communicate	with the Board by contacting the Corporate Secretary's office, including in	relation to any complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting	controls or auditing matters. All communications received will be reviewed	and, as appropriate, delivered to members of the Board, including the	Chairman. The process for communication with the Corporate Secretary's	office is posted on Alcan's Internet site.

		 

**Corporate Governance Documents on the Web**

		 

The charters of the Board	and each of the Committees, the *Worldwide Code of Employee and Business	Conduct*, the *Code of Ethics for Senior Officers* and the	Guidelines on Independence as well as contact details are posted on Alcan's	Internet site (www.alcan.com).	The Board of Directors charter is also attached to this Circular as	Schedule A.

Report of the Audit Committee     	
 
In accordance with its	charter, the Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for overseeing	Alcan's financial reporting process and internal control functions for which	management has primary responsibility. The Audit Committee's roles and	responsibilities are summarized on page 12 and are set out in its charter posted on Alcan's Internet site.

	 

The Audit Committee	regularly discusses and receives written communication from the Auditors on:	(1) the independence of the Auditors from Alcan; (2) all critical accounting	policies and practices used in the audit; (3) all alternative treatments of	financial information within GAAP; (4) the quality and not just the	acceptability of the Company's accounts; and (5) the matters required to be	communicated under generally accepted auditing standards.

	 

The Audit Committee	regularly meets separately with the Auditors and with Alcan's chief internal	auditor, without management present, to review the results of their audits,	their evaluation of internal controls, the quality of Alcan's accounting and	financial reporting and other appropriate matters.

	 

The Audit Committee	reviews the Company's audited and unaudited financial statements and	discusses them with management and the Auditors. In the case of the annual	audited financial statements and management's discussion and analysis, the	Committee recommends them to the Board for approval and inclusion in the	Company's annual report on Form 10‐K.  In the case of the unaudited interim	financial statements and management's discussion and analysis, the Committee	approves the Company's quarterly earnings releases and quarterly reports	on Form 10‐Q.

The Audit Committee has	reviewed and approved the fees paid for audit services and fees paid to the	Auditors for other services (see Auditors on page 17).

	 

In accordance with the	CBCA, the Shareholders appoint the Company's Auditors.  In carrying out its	responsibilities, the Audit Committee has reviewed the qualifications and	performance of the Auditors and recommends to the Board and to the	Shareholders that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Montreal, Canada be appointed	as Auditors at the Meeting.

Auditors	

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP	and its predecessor (Price Waterhouse) have been Alcan's Auditors since	1936.

		 

In addition to performing	the audit of Alcan's consolidated financial statements,	PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP provided other services to the Company and its	Subsidiaries.

		 

Fees by category for each	of 2004 and 2005 are:

The Company's annual audit	of consolidated financial statements is approved by the Audit Committee on	an annual basis. The audit engagement letter is signed by the chairman of	the Audit Committee. All permitted Auditors' services are pre-approved by	the Audit Committee through established procedures; these are limited to	audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other permitted	services. The Company's Auditors are only retained for tax services and	other permitted services when there are particular reasons for preferring	the Auditors over other service providers. Significant audit and non-audit	services are subject to specific pre-approval. Management makes regular	updates to the Audit Committee of the services rendered by the Auditors.

		 

The Audit Committee	reviews with the Auditors and Alcan's chief internal auditor the overall	scope and plans for their audits of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

		 

The Auditors, the Audit	Committee and management maintain regular and open communication in relation	to the audit of the Company's financial statements. There were no	disagreements between the Auditors, the Audit Committee and management on	matters affecting the audit of the Company's financial statements.

		 

In addition, the Auditors	reviewed Alcan's unaudited 2005 quarterly financial statements and have	discussed these and the quarterly earnings releases with management and	members of the Audit Committee prior to their issuance.

Report on Executive	Compensation

 
**General**

	 

The Human Resources	Committee of the Board ("Committee") is responsible for setting and	implementing the compensation policy for the Company's executives. The	compensation policy is focused on attracting, retaining and motivating	executives who have the talent, skills, knowledge and ability to improve the	performance of the Company to maximize value for Shareholders.

	 

The Committee has	established objectives within the compensation policy of the Committee to:
-  attract, retain and motivate highly qualified individuals; 
-  align the interest of executives with those of Shareholders; 
-  reward executives for achieving specific business and strategic objectives;	and
-  encourage talented personnel within the Company to aspire to executive	positions.

The Committee conducts	periodic comprehensive reviews of the compensation of the Company's executives	around the world and the effectiveness of compensation policies.  The Committee is assisted by an	external consultant, Towers	Perrin (see page	13	for more detail), in its study of other global companies based in North	America and Europe.  

	 

The	total direct compensation policy, which covers base salary, annual	incentives (bonus) and long-term incentives, is aligned with prevalent U.S.	competitive median compensation practices. U.S. compensation data is	obtained from two different compensation surveys: (1) a peer group of 20	companies which are comparable in size - these companies are capital	intensive or consumer product related and have a global presence; and (2) a	group composed of 110 large multinational companies with revenues of $10	billion or more. The use of historical data has the effect of placing the	Company's compensation policy slightly below the current median of U.S.	compensation data.

	 

More	importantly, both the short-term and long-term incentive plans are aligned	with the Company's governing objective to maximize value over time.  The	details of the elements of compensation of executives and of Alcan's	current incentive programs, which came into effect in 2002, are outlined hereunder.

	 

**Compensation of the	executive officers**

	 

Total direct	compensation levels reflect both the responsibility of each position	(internal equity) and competitive market levels (external competitiveness).	The total compensation policy is targeted at the median of the compensation	peer groups referred to above.

The Committee has	concluded that for certain Executive Officers, their home country should be	regarded as being of secondary importance in setting remuneration levels. 	In order to ensure greater equity among these executives, compensation is set against U.S. competitive compensation practices, irrespective of the	countries in which the executives work.

***Relative Weighting of	Each Compensation Element***

The relative weighting	of each element of compensation (base salary, short-term incentive and	long-term incentive) is aligned with the Executive Officers' ability to	influence business results, ensuring appropriate emphasis on each	performance period. The incentive opportunity varies with the individual	Executive Officer's level of responsibility and is established through	regular reviews of competitive practice. The table below shows the	percentage of each component that comprises the Executive Officers' total	direct compensation, averaged in relation to the title indicated.

***Base Salary***

		 

The target base salary	is the mid-point of a salary range for an Executive Officer and reflects the	competitive level of similar positions in the compensation peer groups. 	Actual base salaries for Executive Officers reflect the individual's	performance and contribution to the Company.   Base salaries of Executive	Officers are therefore reviewed annually and any proposed changes are	approved by the Committee before implementation.

* *

***Short-Term (Annual)	Incentive Plan***

	 

The Company's short-term	incentive plan, known as the Executive Performance Award ("EPA") Plan, is	administered by the Committee. For each Executive Officer's position, a	target award is set (expressed as a percent of target base salary)	reflecting both the responsibilities of the position and competitive	compensation levels. For 2005, the EPA had two components, each based on a	different aspect of performance:  

 

**18**

1.   Economic Value Added ("EVA" - a registered trademark of Stern Stewart	& Co.). Ninety percent of the incentive compensation opportunity of an Executive	Officer is based on the overall profitability of the Company as measured	against the quantifiable financial metric EVA.  The incentive compensation	for Executive Officers who are part of corporate head office is contingent	upon performance measured against the pre-established EVA objective for the	Company, while the incentive compensation for Executive Officers who are	responsible for a business group is contingent on meeting the	pre-established EVA objectives of their respective business group. Actual	amounts paid under this component are subject to certain adjustments for	factors such as accounting changes, metal prices and exchange rates.

	 

2.   Environment, Health and Safety ("EHS")	objectives.  Ten percent of the incentive compensation opportunity of an Executive	Officer is based on the achievement of the EHS objectives as measured	against pre-established targets. 	 As with the EVA, the EHS	component of incentive compensation for Executive Officers who are part of	corporate head office is contingent upon performance versus the	pre-established  targets for the Company, while the incentive compensation	for Executive Officers who are responsible for a business group is	contingent on meeting the pre-established targets of their respective	business group. The achievement of the objectives is validated by the	Committee for the Company and the business groups.	In 2005, the objectives related to the safety	performance in terms of recordable case rates, lost-time injuries and	illness and EHS strategic initiatives for the business groups.

  

The overall EPA award paid is	the sum of the weighted results of each component (i.e., EVA and EHS)	modified by rating for individual performance and contribution to the	Company.  

	 

The award paid may vary	from zero when the results achieved are less than the minimum threshold	level set by the Committee, to 200% of the target award when the results	achieved are at or exceed the upper threshold level which was set by the	Committee.  

	 

For 2005, the Committee	approved EPA awards for Executive Officers that were above the target	amounts reflecting performance that was above target. 

	 

***Long-Term Incentive Plan***

	 

Long-term incentive compensation for the	most senior executives is provided through (1) the Alcan Total Shareholder	Return Performance Plan ("TSR	Plan")	and (2) the Alcan Executive Share Option Plan ("Option	Plan").	In 2005, Executive Officers received half of their target long-term	incentive compensation value from each of these two plans.   The details for	the two plans are described below.

 1. The Company's TSR Plan aligns the interests of executives with those	of Shareholders by rewarding the former for maximizing value over time	through relative Share price increases.

The TSR Plan is a U.S.	dollar-denominated cash incentive plan that provides performance awards to	eligible employees based on the Company's Share price and cumulative	dividend yield performance relative to the performance of the companies	included in the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") Industrial Composite Index on the New York Stock	Exchange over a three-year period ("Performance Period"). 	

The award amount, if any,	is based on the Company's relative Total Shareholder Return performance, as	defined in the TSR Plan, and ranking of the Company against the other	companies in the S&P Industrial Composite Index at the end of the	Performance Period.  If the Company's Total Shareholder Return performance	ranks below the 30th percentile, the employee will not receive	any award for that Performance Period.  At the 30th percentile	rank, the employee will be paid an award equal to 60% of the target for that	Performance Period.  At the 50th percentile rank, the employee	will earn a payout of 100% of the target, and at or above the 75th	percentile rank, the employee will earn a payout of 300% (i.e. the maximum	payout).  The actual amount of award (if any) will be prorated between the	percentile rankings.  

In 2005, a total target	award of $17,564,915 was granted to 102 key employees around the world. The	actual amount of awards in relation to this target (if any) would be paid in 2008. The amount of the	target award is expensed throughout the three-year period through an accounting	accrual.  For more details on TSR Plan grants, see page	28. 

In 2005, a cash award of $18,077,183 was paid out to 61 key employees for	the three-year period that commenced 1 October 2002 and terminated on 30	September 2005. This cash award was the subject of an adjustment for the	Company's performance before and after the Novelis Spin-off, resulting in a	total cash payout of 226% of the target award. 

 2.  The Option Plan	(see page	24)	also encourages key employees to align their interests with those of	Shareholders by providing an incentive to further the Company's growth and	development and assists in retaining and attracting executives critical to	the success of the Company.

 
**19**

The Option Plan provides for the			granting of Options to key employees of the Company and its			Subsidiaries to purchase Common Shares.  The exercise price is		denominated in Canadian dollars and the performance levels to be		achieved before the Options vest is determined by Share prices on the		Toronto Stock Exchange. The Committee, which			administers the Option Plan, may determine at its sole discretion			which employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries are eligible to			be granted Options. In 2005, all options granted were			performance-based "C" Options. For more details, see pages		24.

		 

Certain Executive Officers participated in the	Alcan Stock Price Appreciation Unit Plan ("SPAU Plan") instead of the Option	Plan due to certain local conditions of their country of residence (see	description on page 26).

		 

***Executive Deferred Share Unit Plan***

		 

Under the terms of the Executive Deferred Share	Unit Plan ("EDSU Plan"), Executive Officers based in Canada may elect, prior	to the beginning of any particular year, to receive Executive Deferred Share	Units ("EDSUs") with a value between 10% and 100% of their EPA award for	that year, instead of a cash payment. These Executive Officers may also	elect, at least 12 months prior to the end of the Performance Period of the	TSR Plan, to receive EDSUs for their Total Shareholder Performance award for	that Performance Period, instead of a cash payment. 

		 

The number of EDSUs is determined by dividing	the amount elected by the average share price on the Toronto and New York	stock exchanges at the end of the preceding year for the EDSUs related to		the EPA and at the end of the Performance Period for the EDSUs related		to the TSR Plan.  Additional EDSUs,	which correspond to dividends declared on Shares, are credited to each	holder.  

		 

The EDSUs are redeemable only upon termination	of employment (retirement, resignation or death) and therefore EDSUs align	the interest of participating Executive Officers with those of Shareholders.	The cash amount to be paid by the Company upon redemption will be calculated	by multiplying the accumulated balance of EDSUs by the average share price	on the said exchanges at the time of redemption. 

		 

**Compensation of the chief executive officer**

		 

The CEO's annual compensation is administered by	the Board, based on the evaluation of the CEO's performance by the Committee	and on its recommendations according to the policies described above. 

Mr. Engen became CEO on 12	March 2001 and entered into an employment agreement with a five‐year term.	Mr. Engen has indicated his intention to retire at the end of the term of	this employment agreement on 11 March 2006. 

		 

The Board of Directors	initially set Mr. Engen's compensation on a competitive level with other	U.S. chief executive officers of global companies of similar size and also	provided Mr. Engen with a comparable level of compensation to that received	from his previous employer.  Since then, his compensation has reflected	developments in the compensation offered by comparable U.S. companies.	Decisions pertaining to the CEO's compensation are based on the Board	evaluation of the CEO's performance against pre-determined financial and	strategic objectives which are consistent with the performance metrics of	the EPA (see page		18).  

		 

The CEO's total direct	compensation (base salary, target annual incentives and target long-term	incentives) was set by the Committee at the 75th percentile of	the U.S. market. 

		 

In 2005, Mr. Engen's base	salary was $1,500,000. An annual EPA award based on an established target	and on performance objectives was paid. For 2005, the target was 167% of the	base salary. The actual amount paid for 2005 was $3,500,000. 

		 

Mr. Engen received an	Option to purchase 450,100 Shares (see page		26).	This performance-based "C" Option was granted on 21 September 2005 at an	exercise price of Can. $38.26 per Share with an estimated value of	$5,000,000, based on a Black-Scholes evaluation.  This Option will remain	outstanding and exercisable for the full 10-year period.  He also received a	TSR Plan target cash award of $5,000,000 payable at the end of the	three-year Performance Period (30 September 2008) under the terms and	conditions of the TSR Plan (see page		28).

		 

Mr. Engen received a TSR	Plan cash award of $5,642,750 for the three-year period that commenced 1	October 2002 and terminated on 30 September 2005.

		 

Mr. Engen's employment	agreement provides for a retirement adjustment program under which he will	be entitled to the same level of retirement benefits he would have received	had he remained employed with his previous employer. Under this program, the	monthly pension is calculated by multiplying $6,432 by the number of years	of service with Alcan from 1 April 2001 for a maximum of five years.

 
**20**

The portion of Mr. Engen's	compensation attributable to services rendered in Canada is adjusted so that	his net income after taxes is the same as it would have been in the United	States.

		 

Mr.	Engen was eligible for a termination payment in the event his employment had	been terminated by the Company without cause or by him for defined reasons.	Mr. Engen would have received an amount equal to three times the sum of his	highest annualized base salary and target bonus.  Mr. Engen would also have	been entitled to the acceleration of vesting of all Options and the	continuation of employee benefits and additional service credits to total	five years.

In addition, Mr. Engen and	the Company entered into a change of control agreement which would have been	effective upon the occurrence of two events: (1) a change of control of the	Company; and (2) the termination of employment either by the Company without	cause or by him for defined reasons. In such cases, Mr. Engen would have	been entitled to an amount equal to 36 times the sum of his (a) monthly base	salary on the date of termination and (b) EPA guideline amount in effect at	the date of termination. He will also be entitled to an amount determined	under the TSR Plan.
The table below highlights	the salary, bonus and other annual compensation earned and the expected	value of the long-term compensation awarded to Mr. Engen in 2005 as	established by the Committee.
