    I have reviewed the annual report (the Annual Report) on Form 40-F of
Shaw Communications Inc. (the Registrant) for the year ended August 31,
2004;2.
    
    Based on my knowledge, the Annual 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
the Annual Report;3.
    
    Based on my knowledge, the financial statements for the year ended August
31, 2004, and other financial information included in the Annual Report,
fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows of the Registrant as of, and for, the year
ended August 31, 2004;4.
    
    The Registrants other certifying officers 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 Registrant
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 Registrant, including its consolidated
subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which the Annual
Report is being prepared;b.
    
    Evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrants
disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our
conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures, as of the year ended August 31, 2004 based on such evaluation; andc.
    
    Disclosed in the Annual Report any change in the
Registrants internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the year ended August 31, 2004
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Registrants internal control over
financial reporting; and
