                       OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002


I, Mary A. Grace, the Registrant's Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer,
certify that:

     1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of e-Smart
Technologies, Inc.;

     2. Based on my knowledge, this quarterly 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 quarterly
report;

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

     4. I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
3a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the Registrant and have:

        a) Designed and recently commenced the implementation of such disclosure
controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be
designed under my supervision, to ensure that material information relating to
the Registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to me by
others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this
quarterly report is being prepared;

        b) Designed and recently commenced the implementation of such internal
control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial
reporting to be designed under my supervision, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles;

        c) Evaluated the increasing effectiveness of the Registrant's disclosure
controls and procedures and presented in this report my 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

        d) Disclosed in this report any change in the Registrant's internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the Registrant's most
recent fiscal quarter (the Registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an
annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting;
and

     5. I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of the internal
control that the Registrant has recently commenced implementing over financial
reporting, to the Registrant's auditors and will, as soon as the same is duly
constituted, to the audit committee of Registrant's board of directors:

        a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
operation of internal control that the Registrant has recently commenced
implementing over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely
affect the Registrant'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 Registrant's internal control over
financial reporting.
