This offering is made by a Canadian
corporation that is permitted, under a multijurisdictional
disclosure system adopted by the securities regulatory
authorities in Canada and the United States, to prepare this
prospectus in accordance with the disclosure requirements of
Canada. Prospective investors in the United States should be
aware that such requirements are different from those of the
United States. The financial statements incorporated herein have
been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles, and may be subject to Canadian auditing

(earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
calculated as operating revenues less operations expenses less
restructuring and work force reduction costs) and net income of

2004 were $17.6 billion, $5.6 billion,
$2.3 billion and $430 million, respectively.

TELUS Communications is a full-service incumbent
local exchange carrier (ILEC) in western Canada and
eastern Québec offering local, long-distance, data,
Internet and other services to consumers and businesses. It is a
competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) offering
services primarily in central Canada through its non-incumbent
or non-ILEC operations. On a combined basis, the services of
TELUS Communications accounted for revenue of
$3,560 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2004, representing approximately 63% of the total revenue of
TELUS for such nine month period.

Local wireline services allow customers to
complete calls in their local calling areas and to access long
distance networks, wireless networks and the Internet. Virtually
all homes and businesses in the TELUS Communications incumbent
service areas have access to some or all of its local services.
In addition to local calling, local services generally include
enhanced calling features, such as: call display, call waiting,
call forwarding and voice mail; Centrex for business customers;
public pay telephones; and competitive long distance carrier
access. Local access or exchange service is the largest
component of local wireline service, and is generally provided
on a monthly flat rate basis.

CLECs operating in Canada provide service to
their customers over facilities they have constructed or leased
from ILECs in a given region or by reselling the local services
of the ILECs (e.g. TELUS Communications). CLECs that use their
own facilities or facilities leased from TELUS Communications
are eligible to receive a subsidy when they provide service to
residential customers living in areas where TELUS
Communications, as an ILEC, receives a subsidy.

TELUS Communications is competing outside its
incumbent territories as a non-dominant carrier and has obtained
approval to operate as a CLEC in certain targeted markets in
central Canada where it concentrates on providing business
wireline services.

can be enhanced by connection with TELUS Communications
infrastructure through points of presence throughout Alberta and
British Columbia, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, and 38 cities in
Ontario and Québec.

TELUS Communications network includes the
Alberta and British Columbia portion of the transcontinental
high density fibre optic transmission system used by the various
ILECs across Canada. As part of TELUS national strategy,
TELUS Communications has also built its own national inter-city
fibre optic backbone network that interconnects the network in
Alberta and British Columbia with major centres in Ontario and
Québec. This fibre optic network commenced operations in
2001, and is supplemented by new local fibre optic networks in
30 CLEC metropolitan areas. TELUS Communications network
also interconnects with the networks of Verizon and other
carriers in the U.S. for the exchange of U.S. and
international traffic.

TELUS Communications started migrating toll voice
traffic onto its Next Generation Network (NGN) in
July 2003, beginning the transformation of the TELUS network to
a single IP network designed to carry high quality voice, data
and video applications. The NGN provides TELUS with a
competitive advantage in the business marketplace by becoming
the first major incumbent telecommunications provider to provide
this service. For business customers, TELUS provides a full
suite of IP-based advanced application services and the ability
to integrate voicemail, e-mail, data and video through a
user-friendly online web portal.

TELUS Mobility

TELUS Mobility is a major Canadian
facilities-based wireless service provider and offers a number

TELUS Mobility offers wireless voice and data
services to consumers and businesses nationally on both the ESMR
and the PCS/cellular networks, and competes principally with two
other major carriers in Canada. TELUS Mobility is also a leading
wireless communications service provider in Canada in terms of
average monthly revenue per subscriber unit (ARPU),
churn, and operating cash flow growth based on publicly
available information. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2004, TELUS Mobility accounted for revenue of
$2,056 million, representing approximately 37% of the total
revenue of TELUS for such nine month period.

In 2001, TELUS Mobility entered into certain
roaming/ resale agreements, which extended and enhanced then
existing roaming and resale arrangements by, among other things,
reducing the wholesale pricing for such services, to encourage
the use of existing CDMA networks. The implementation of these
agreements in 2002 expanded TELUS Mobilitys addressable
PCS market by close to 7 million people, while allowing
TELUS Mobility to avoid estimated capital expenditures of
approximately $800 million over the 10-year term of the
agreements. In 2002, these roaming and resale agreements were
amended to include 1X network services. As of September 30,
2004, TELUS Mobilitys national digital networks covered
approximately 22.4 million Canadians and, including roaming
and resale agreements, 29.7 million Canadians.

TELUS Mobility owns and operates a national
digital PCS network, and analogue and digital cellular networks
in Alberta, British Columbia, and eastern Québec, with 40
to 45 MHz of spectrum throughout all major population
regions of Canada. TELUS Mobility has commenced building
significant microwave facilities in order to reduce future
costs. TELUS Mobility has combined these networks under one
national brand. Substantially all of TELUS Mobilitys
digital subscribers are provided extended coverage in Canada,
the U.S. and various other countries through analogue and
digital roaming arrangements with other carriers by means of
dual-mode or tri-mode, dual-band handsets.

TELUS Mobility also owns and operates an ESMR
digital wireless business communications service under the
MikeTM trademark using the integrated digital
enhanced network technology. The Mike network covers the larger
population centers and surrounding areas in Alberta, British
Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Québec (including
Montréal and Toronto), and many non-urban areas in Ontario,
Québec and western Canada. The Mike network utilizes
frequencies in the 800 MHz range which have propagation
advantages over higher frequencies such as those used in digital
1900 MHz PCS networks, resulting in more cost effective
geographic coverage. While the amount of 800 MHz spectrum
licensed to TELUS Mobility varies by region, TELUS Mobility has
in excess of 10 MHz of spectrum available for its Mike
network in Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver, Canadas
three most populous metropolitan areas. The Mike service is
marketed primarily through independent and corporate-owned
dealers to businesses and other organizations as a digital
PCS-like service with the added unique benefit of Mikes
Direct ConnectTM functionality, which provides
low-cost instant connectivity for work groups. TELUS Mobility
also operates analogue specialized mobile radio systems in most
major urban centres in Canada. TELUS Mobility operates paging
networks in Alberta, British Columbia, and eastern Québec.

Recent Developments

Background to the Offering

The Selling Shareholder is prohibited from
selling its shares in TELUS without the approval of a majority
of the Independent Directors of TELUS (the Independent
Directors) by virtue of the terms of a Long-Term
Relationship Agreement (the LTR Agreement) dated
January 1, 1999 made among TELUS, the Selling Shareholder
(as successor to Anglo-Canadian Telephone Company) and GTE
Corporation, another subsidiary of Verizon, if, as a result of
such sale, the Selling Shareholder will own directly or
indirectly less than 19.9% of the outstanding shares in TELUS
(the Share Sale Prohibition Right). At a meeting of
the TELUS Board of Directors held on May 31, 2004, the
Selling Shareholder (and Verizon) requested approval from the
Independent Directors to sell the Offered Shares. Verizon
indicated that it desires to divest the TELUS investment as part
of its ongoing strategy of divesting selected international
investments while it focuses on core business growth
opportunities such as broadband and wireless.

Between June and November 2004, TELUS and Verizon
held preliminary discussions to explore the terms upon which
such a sale could occur and the optimal business relationship
between the parties following any such sale. On October 26,
2004, the Independent Directors considered and outlined the
parameters upon which they would approve any such sale and
directed TELUS Management to complete negotiations with Verizon
within such parameters. The parties reached agreement on
November 30, 2004 and the Board of Directors of Verizon
also approved such agreement on November 30, 2004 and, by
consent resolutions dated as of November 29, 2004, the
Independent Directors and the Board of Directors of TELUS
approved the cancellation of the Share Sale Prohibition Right.

As at November 30, 2004, the Corporation
agreed to cancel and extinguish the Share Sale Prohibition Right
so that the sale of the Offered Shares may proceed as
contemplated in this short form prospectus, on the terms set
forth in a Framework Agreement between TELUS and Verizon dated
November 30, 2004, the key terms of which are summarized
below:



| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | the sale must be for all of the Offered Shares
    and must be completed by December 31, 2004, failing which
    the Share Sale Prohibition Right will remain in existence and
    effect and Verizon will reimburse to TELUS all expenses incurred
    by TELUS in connection with the share sale process;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|
| |  | Verizon will pay to TELUS the sum of
    U.S.$125 million upon the announcement of the Offering,
    which is non-refundable other than in limited circumstances
    involving a default by TELUS;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
|
| |  | the LTR Agreement will end concurrently with the
    Closing; and                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|
| |  | Verizon and TELUS will continue their business
    relationship, with certain adjustments to reflect changes in
    their business requirements since the alliance was first
    established in 1999. These adjustments will be reflected in an
    amendment to the Amended and Restated Software and Related
    Technology and Services Agreement dated January 1, 2001, as
    amended, among TELUS, Verizon and GTE Corporation (the
    SRT), and in the amendment or termination of certain

    reduction in annual fees payable from U.S.$82 million to
    U.S.$4 for the years 2005 to 2008;

On November 29, 2004, TELUS Mobility and
Verizon Wireless expanded their current roaming arrangements
under a consolidated long-term roaming agreement to improve each
others ability to provide more consistent and
comprehensive roaming services to each others customers.

Operational Efficiency Program

In 2003 and 2004, TELUS undertook a variety of
operational efficiency activities and achieved its goal of
interim improvement of the profitability of TELUS
Communications, through the reduction of positions, closure and
consolidation of customer contact centres in its ILEC region,
rationalization of information technology resources and in the
merging of two customer-facing business units. In 2005 and
subsequent years, TELUS Communications will continue to
undertake initiatives aimed at improving operating and capital
productivity. Activities underway and initiatives being explored
could result in the Corporation incurring expenditures in the
range of $50 million in 2004 and $100 million in 2005.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

In accordance with its announcement made on
October 29, 2004, TELUS intends to file, following the
announcement of the Offering and subject to regulatory approval,
a notice of intention to commence a normal course issuer bid to
purchase up to 25.5 million of its issued and outstanding
shares (14 million Common Shares and 11.5 million
Non-Voting Shares) over a one year period.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following table sets forth selected
consolidated financial and operating information as at and for
the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and as at
and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.

The selected consolidated financial information
has been derived from the Corporations unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements and its audited annual
consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, Chartered Accountants, audited the

February 2, 2004 except as to Note 16(c), which is as
of February 12, 2004, is incorporated by reference in this
short form prospectus.

TELUS consolidated financial statements are
presented in Canadian dollars and are prepared in accordance
with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles

Therefore, TELUS consolidated financial statements
incorporated by reference in this short form prospectus may not
be comparable to financial statements prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. For a discussion of the principal
differences between TELUS financial results as calculated
under Canadian GAAP and under U.S. GAAP, investors should
refer to Note 22 of TELUS audited annual consolidated
financial statements as at and for the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2002, Note 20 of TELUS
consolidated financial statements as at and for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and Supplemental United
States GAAP Disclosures for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (unaudited), and
the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, which are
incorporated by reference in this short form prospectus.

Investors should read this information in
conjunction with TELUS audited consolidated financial
statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2003
and 2002, managements discussion and analysis for the year
ended December 31, 2003, TELUS unaudited consolidated
financial statements as at September 30, 2004 and for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and
managements discussion and analysis for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004, all of which are incorporated by

|(1) | EBITDA is calculated as operating revenues less
    operations expense less restructuring and workforce reduction
    costs. The Corporation reports EBITDA because it is a key
    measure used by management to evaluate performance of business
    units and it is utilized in measuring compliance with debt
    covenants. The Corporation also believes EBITDA is a measure
    commonly reported and widely used by investors as an indicator
    of a companys operating performance and ability to incur
    and service debt. The Corporation believes EBITDA assists
    investors in comparing a companys performance on a
    consistent basis without regard to depreciation and
    amortization, which are non-cash in nature and can vary
    significantly depending upon accounting methods or non-operating
    factors such as historical cost, and without regard to
    restructuring and workforce reduction costs, which can be
    transitional in nature. EBITDA is not a calculation based on
    Canadian GAAP or U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an
    alternative to Operating income or Net income in measuring the
    Corporations performance or used as an exclusive measure
    of cash flow because it does not consider the impact of working
    capital growth, capital expenditures, debt principal reductions
    and other sources and uses of cash, which are disclosed in the
    consolidated statements of cash flows. Investors should
    carefully consider the specific items included in TELUS
    computation of EBITDA. While EBITDA has been disclosed herein to
    permit a more complete comparative analysis of the
    Corporations operating performance and debt servicing
    ability relative to other companies, investors should be
    cautioned that EBITDA as reported by TELUS may not be comparable
    in all instances to EBITDA as reported by others.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Background to the Offering

The Selling Shareholder is prohibited from
selling its shares in TELUS without the approval of a majority
of the Independent Directors of TELUS (the Independent
Directors) by virtue of the terms of a Long-Term
Relationship Agreement (the LTR Agreement) dated
January 1, 1999 made among TELUS, the Selling Shareholder
(as successor to Anglo-Canadian Telephone Company) and GTE
Corporation, another subsidiary of Verizon if, as a result of
such sale, the Selling Shareholder will own directly or
indirectly less than 19.9% of the outstanding shares in TELUS
(the Share Sale Prohibition Right). At a meeting of
the TELUS Board of Directors held on May 31, 2004, the
Selling Shareholder (and Verizon) requested approval from the
Independent Directors to sell the Offered Shares. Verizon
indicated that it desires to divest the TELUS investment as part
of its ongoing strategy of divesting selected international
investments while it focuses on core business growth
opportunities such as broadband and wireless.

Between June and November 2004, TELUS and Verizon
held preliminary discussions to explore the terms upon which
such a sale could occur and the optimal business relationship
between the parties following any such sale. On October 26,
2004, the Independent Directors considered and outlined the
parameters upon which they would approve any such sale and
directed TELUS Management to complete negotiations with Verizon
within such parameters. The parties reached agreement on
November 30, 2004 and the Board of Directors of Verizon
also approved such agreement on November 30, 2004 and, by
consent resolutions dated as of November 29, 2004, the
Independent Directors and the Board of Directors of TELUS
approved the cancellation of the Share Sale Prohibition Right.

As at November 30, 2004, the Corporation
agreed to cancel and extinguish the Share Sale Prohibition Right
so that the sale of the Offered Shares may proceed as
contemplated in this short form prospectus, on the terms set
forth in a Framework Agreement between TELUS and Verizon dated
November 30, 2004, the key terms of which are summarized
below:



| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | the sale must be for all of the Offered Shares
    and must be completed by December 31, 2004, failing which
    the Share Sale Prohibition Right will remain in existence and
    effect and Verizon will reimburse to TELUS all expenses incurred
    by TELUS in connection with the share sale process;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|
| |  | Verizon will pay to TELUS the sum of
    U.S.$125 million upon the announcement of the Offering,
    which is non-refundable other than in limited circumstances
    involving a default by TELUS;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
|
| |  | the LTR Agreement will end concurrently with the
    Closing; and                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|
| |  | Verizon and TELUS will continue their business
    relationship, with certain adjustments to reflect changes in
    their business requirements since the alliance was first
    established in 1999. These adjustments will be reflected in an
    amendment to the Amended and Restated Software and Related
    Technology and Services Agreement dated January 1, 2001, as
    amended, among TELUS, Verizon and GTE Corporation (the
    SRT), and in the amendment or termination of certain
    collateral business agreements. The key amendments to the SRT
    are as follows:



| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | TELUS will continue to have the exclusive rights
    in Canada to the Verizon trademarks, and software and technology
    acquired prior to Closing, for the provision of
    Telecommunications Services in Canada (as defined in the SRT),
    but not to any other Verizon trademarks or software and
    technology or certain purchasing rights, with a corresponding
    reduction in annual fees payable from U.S.$82 million to
    U.S.$4 for the years 2005 to 2008;

| |  | Verizon is required to continue to provide
    upgrades and support on the software and technology licensed to

|
| |  | TELUS is released from its obligation not to
    compete against Verizon in the United States; and

| |  | the term of the SRT, which is presently renewable
    annually at TELUS sole option and has been renewed for the

On November 29, 2004, TELUS Mobility and
Verizon Wireless expanded their current roaming arrangements
under a consolidated long-term roaming agreement to improve each
others ability to provide more consistent and
comprehensive roaming services to each others customers.

Operational Efficiency Program

In 2003 and 2004, TELUS undertook a variety of
operational efficiency activities and achieved its goal of
interim improvement of the profitability of TELUS
Communications, through the reduction of positions, closure and
consolidation of customer contact centres in its ILEC region,
rationalization of information technology resources and in the
merging of two customer-facing business units. In 2005 and
subsequent years, TELUS Communications will continue to

THE SELLING SHAREHOLDER

Verizon beneficially owns, indirectly through
Verizon Canada, 48,551,972 Common Shares and 24,942,368
Non-Voting Shares, representing approximately 25.1% and 15.1% of
the outstanding Common Shares and Non-Voting Shares,
respectively, as of November 25, 2004 (20.5% on a combined
basis). The Common Shares and Non-Voting Shares were acquired by
the Selling Shareholder on January 31, 1999 in connection
with the merger of BC TELECOM and TELUS Corporation. Upon
completion of the Offering, the Selling Shareholder will have
sold all of its interest in the Corporation.




USE OF PROCEEDS

The Offered Shares are being sold by the Selling
Shareholder. The net proceeds from the sale of the Offered
Shares, after deducting the Underwriters fee and the
estimated expenses of the Offering, are estimated to be
$               .
All of the Offered Shares are currently beneficially owned by
the Selling Shareholder and, accordingly, the net proceeds of
this Offering will be received by the Selling Shareholder. The
Corporation will not receive any proceeds of the Offering.




PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated as of
December    , 2004 (the Underwriting
Agreement) among the Selling Shareholder, Verizon, the
Corporation and the Underwriters, the Selling Shareholder has
agreed to sell the Offered Shares and the Underwriters have
severally agreed to purchase the Offered Shares in accordance
with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

The offering price of the Offered Shares was
determined by negotiation between the Selling Shareholder and
the Underwriters with reference to the market price of the
Common Shares and the Non-Voting Shares. The public offering
price for the Offered Shares offered in Canada and elsewhere
outside the United States is payable in Canadian dollars and the
public offering price for the Offered Shares offered in the
United States is payable in U.S. dollars, except as may
otherwise be agreed by the Underwriters. The U.S. dollar
amount is the approximate equivalent of the Canadian price of
the Offered Shares being offered hereby determined based on the
prevailing U.S.-Canadian dollar exchange rate on the date of the
Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriters propose to offer the
Offered Shares initially at the public offering prices on the
cover page of this short form prospectus. After the

16



---



##### 



Underwriters have made a reasonable effort to
sell all of the Offered Shares at the prices specified herein,
the offering prices may be decreased, and further changed from
time to time, and the compensation realized by the Underwriters
will accordingly also be reduced. The Underwriting Agreement
provides that the Selling Shareholder will pay to the
Underwriters, in consideration for their services in connection
with the Offering, an underwriters fee of
C$               or
U.S.$               per
Common Share and
C$               or
U.S.$         per
Non-Voting Share. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the
Selling Shareholder will be responsible for TELUS expenses
of the Offering.


The closing of the Offering is expected to take
place on or about December 14, 2004, or such other date as
may be agreed upon, but in any event, no later than
December 31, 2004, subject to compliance with all necessary
legal requirements and subject to the conditions stipulated in
the Underwriting Agreement.

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the
obligations of the Underwriters are several and are subject to
certain conditions precedent. The Underwriting Agreement may be
terminated on behalf of the Underwriters upon the occurrence of
certain stated events. The Underwriters are, however, severally
obligated to take up and pay for all of the Offered Shares if
any of such Offered Shares are purchased under the Underwriting
Agreement.

This Offering is being made concurrently in all
the provinces of Canada and in the United States pursuant to a
multijurisdictional disclosure system implemented by securities
regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States. Subject
to applicable law, the Underwriters may offer the Offered Shares
outside the United States and Canada. Broker-dealer affiliates
of certain of the Underwriters may sell the Offered Shares in
Canada or the United States pursuant to applicable law. No sales
will be effected in any province of Canada by any Underwriter
not duly registered as a securities dealer under the laws of
such province, other than sales effected pursuant to the
exemptions from the registration requirements under the laws of
such province.

The Corporation has agreed that it shall not for
a period of 90 days after the closing of the Offering,
without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, which
consent is not to be unreasonably withheld, issue Non-Voting
Shares, Common Shares or preferred shares of TELUS
(collectively, Equity Shares) or securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable into Equity
Shares other than: (i) the issuance of Non-Voting Shares
upon conversion, redemption, repayment or repurchase of
TELUS outstanding 6.75% convertible debentures;
(ii) the issuance of Equity Shares in connection with the
exercise of outstanding warrants and options, including options
under the employee share option plans; (iii) the grant of
options to directors, officers and employees of the Corporation
and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and in a
manner consistent with current practices; (iv) the issuance
of Equity Shares under TELUS employee share purchase plan;
(v) the issuance of Equity Shares under TELUS
dividend reinvestment plan; (vi) the issuance of Equity
Shares under the TELUS Channel Stock Incentive Plan;
(vii) the issuance of Equity Shares under the restricted
stock unit plans of the Corporation; (viii) the issuance of
Equity Shares under the TELUS Share Option and Compensation
Plan; (ix) the issuance of Equity Shares under TELUS
shareholder rights plan (the Rights Plan); and
(x) any issuance pursuant to an acquisition, merger,
consolidation or amalgamation transaction involving the
Corporation and any corporation or corporations acting at
arms length (as such term is used in the Tax Act) to the
Corporation.

The Selling Shareholder, Verizon and the
Corporation have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under applicable
securities legislation, or to contribute to payments the
Underwriters may be required to make in respect of those
liabilities.

Pursuant to policy statements of certain
securities regulators, the Underwriters may not, throughout the
period of distribution under this short form prospectus, bid for
or purchase Common Shares or Non-Voting Shares. The foregoing
restriction is subject to certain exceptions provided that the
bid or purchase is not engaged in for the purpose of creating
actual or apparent active trading in, or raising the price of,
the Common Shares or Non-Voting Shares, including: (i) a
bid or purchase permitted under the Universal Market Integrity
Rules for Canadian Marketplaces of Market Regulations
Services Inc. relating to market stabilization and passive
market-making activities; and (ii) a bid or purchase made
for and on behalf of a customer where the order was not
solicited during the period of the distribution. Market
stabilization activities are also subject to Regulation M
under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In order to facilitate the offering of the
Offered Shares, the Underwriters may engage in transactions that
stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Common
Shares and the Non-Voting Shares. Specifically, the Underwriters
may sell more shares than they are obligated to purchase under
the Underwriting Agreement, creating

17

##### 



a short position. The Underwriters must close out
any short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A
short position is more likely to be created if the Underwriters
are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price
of the Common Shares or the Non-Voting Shares in the open market
after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase
in the Offering. As an additional means of facilitating the
Offering, the Underwriters may bid for, and purchase, Common
Shares or Non-Voting Shares in the open market to stabilize the
price of the Common Shares or Non-Voting Shares. The
underwriting syndicate may also reclaim selling concessions
allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the
Offered Shares, if the syndicate repurchases previously
distributed Offered Shares to cover syndicate short positions or
to stabilize the price of the Common Shares or the Non-Voting
Shares. These activities may raise or maintain the market price
of the Common Shares or the Non-Voting Shares above independent
market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market price
of the Common Shares or the Non-Voting Shares. The Underwriters
are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any
of these activities at any time.


Subscriptions for the Offered Shares will be
received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part
and the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any
time without notice.




DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

The Corporation is authorized to issue up to
1 billion shares of each class of first preferred shares,
second preferred shares, Non-Voting Shares and Common Shares.
Certain of the rights and attributes of the Common Shares and
Non-Voting Shares are described below:

Priority

The holders of Common Shares and Non-Voting
Shares shall be entitled to participate equally with each other
as to dividends and the Corporation shall pay dividends thereon,
as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation out of monies properly applicable to the payment of
dividends, in amounts per share and at the same time on all such
Common Shares and Non-Voting Shares at the time outstanding as
the Board of Directors of the Corporation may from time to time
determine. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the Corporation or other distribution of assets of
the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of
winding-up its affairs, all the property and assets of the
Corporation which remain after payment to the holders of any
shares ranking in priority to the Common Shares and Non-Voting
Shares in respect of payment upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of all amounts attributed and properly payable to
such holders of such other shares in the event of such
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or distribution, shall be
paid and distributed equally, share for share, to the holders of
the Common Shares and the Non-Voting Shares, without preference
or distinction.

Voting Rights

The holders of the Common Shares shall be
entitled to receive notice of and to attend (in person or by
proxy) and be heard at all general meetings of the shareholders
of the Corporation (other than separate meetings of the holders
of shares of any other class of shares of the Corporation or any
other series of shares of such other class of shares) and to
vote at all such general meetings with each holder of Common
Shares being entitled to one vote per Common Share held at all
such meetings. The holders of Non-Voting Shares shall be
entitled to receive notice of and to attend (in person or by
proxy) and be heard at all general meetings of the shareholders
of the Corporation (other than at separate meetings of the
holders of shares of any other class of shares of the
Corporation or of shares of any other series of shares of any
such other class of shares other than the Common Shares) and
shall be entitled to receive all notices of meetings,
information circulars and other written information from the
Corporation that the holders of Common Shares are entitled to
receive from the Corporation but not to vote at such general
meetings, unless otherwise required by law.

Anti-Dilution

Neither the Common Shares nor the Non-Voting
Shares shall be subdivided, consolidated, reclassified or
otherwise changed unless contemporaneously therewith the other
class is subdivided, consolidated, reclassified or otherwise
changed in the same proportion and in the same manner.

Non-Voting Share Conversion Rights

In the event an offer is made to purchase Common
Shares that (i) must, by reason of applicable securities
legislation or the requirements of a stock exchange on which the
Common Shares are listed, be made to all or substantially all of
the holders of Common Shares who are in a province of Canada to
which the requirement applies, and (ii) is not made
concurrently with an offer to purchase Non-Voting Shares that is
identical to the offer to purchase Common Shares in terms of
price per share and percentage of outstanding shares to be taken
up exclusive of shares owned immediately prior to the offer by
the Offeror (as defined in the articles of the Corporation), and
in all other material respects, and that has no condition
attached thereto other than the right not to take up and pay for
shares tendered if no shares are purchased pursuant to the offer
for Common Shares, then each outstanding Non-Voting Share shall
be convertible into one fully paid and non-assessable Common
Share at the option of the holder thereof exercisable during the
period commencing on the eighth day after the date on which the
offer to purchase Common Shares was made or deemed to be made
and expiring on the expiry date of such offer.

If the Canadian Telecommunication Common Carrier
Ownership and Control Regulations made pursuant to the
Telecommunications Act (Canada) (the
Telecommunications Regulations) are changed so that
there is no restriction on any non-Canadians (as defined in the
Telecommunications Regulations) holding Common Shares of the
Corporation, a holder of one or more Non-Voting Shares shall
have the right, at his or her option, at any time after the date
of change of the Telecommunications Regulations and prior to the
closing of business 90 days thereafter (the
Regulatory Conversion Period) to convert any one or
more of such Non-Voting Shares into Common Shares on a
one-for-one basis. If the Telecommunications Regulations are
changed so that there is no restriction on any non-Canadians (as
defined in the Telecommunications Regulations) holding Common
Shares in the Corporation and following the Regulatory
Conversion Period there are Non-Voting Shares still outstanding,
all holders of Non-Voting Shares shall be deemed to have
exercised their right to convert the Non-Voting Shares held by
them into Common Shares upon receipt by all of the holders of
written notice by the Corporation stating that the Corporation
is requiring all holders to convert their Non-Voting Shares to
Common Shares on the date specified in such notice.

Common Share Conversion Right

The Corporation shall provide notice to each
holder of Common Shares at least 10 days before the record
date in respect of each general meeting of shareholders of the
Corporation at which the holders of the Non-Voting Shares will
be entitled to vote as a class. In such event and to the extent
that, after taking into account the conversion, the class of
persons, each of whom is a non-Canadian as defined in the
Telecommunications Regulations (the Constrained
Class), would continue to hold no more than the maximum
number of Common Shares that may be owned and controlled by
persons in the Constrained Class in accordance with the
Telecommunications Regulations so that, when added to all other
voting shares (as defined in the Telecommunications Regulations)
owned or controlled by the Constrained Class, the Corporation
will be and will continue to be a qualified
corporation as defined in the Telecommunications
Regulations, each outstanding Common Share shall be convertible
into one Non-Voting Share on a one-for-one basis.

Ownership and Voting Restrictions

Non-Canadian shareholders shall not beneficially
own or control, other than by way of security only, more than
33 1/3% (or such other percentage as may then be prescribed
by the Telecommunications Regulations as the percentage of
voting shares that may be beneficially owned or controlled,
other than by Canadians, in order for a corporation to be a
qualified corporation as defined in the
Telecommunications Regulations, provided that if no such
percentage is prescribed the relevant percentage shall be deemed
to be 100%) (the Restricted Percentage) of the
issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation (the
Non-Canadian Share Constraint). In the event that it
appears from the central securities register of the Corporation
that, or in the event of a Directors determination (as
provided for in the articles of the Corporation) that there is a
contravention of the Non-Canadian Share Constraint: (a) the
Corporation may pursuant to a Directors determination make
a public announcement, whether by press release, newspaper
advertisements or otherwise, reasonably expected to inform the
markets in which voting shares are traded of the contravention;
and (b) the Corporation may refuse to (i) accept any
subscription for voting shares from any non-Canadian,
(ii) issue any voting shares to any non-Canadian,

##### 



(iii) register or otherwise recognize the
transfer of any voting shares from any Canadian to any
non-Canadian, or (iv) purchase or otherwise acquire any
voting shares, except as provided in the articles of the
Corporation.


In the event of a Directors determination
that there is a contravention of the Non-Canadian Share
Constraint and that to do so would be practicable and would not
be unfairly prejudicial to, and would not unfairly disregard the
interests of, persons beneficially owning or controlling voting
shares who are non-Canadians, the Corporation shall send a
disposition notice to the registered holders of such of those
voting shares as shall be chosen on the basis of inverse order
of registration of all non-Canadians. The Corporation may, by
Directors determination, suspend all rights of a
shareholder to vote that would otherwise be attached to any
voting shares beneficially owned, or controlled, by
non-Canadians so that the proportion of the voting shares
beneficially owned, or controlled, or considered by the
Telecommunications Regulations to be beneficially owned, or
controlled, by non-Canadians and with respect to which voting
rights are not suspended is reduced to not more than the
Restricted Percentage of the total issued and outstanding voting
shares of the Corporation. Any disposition notice required to be
sent to a registered holder of shares pursuant to the foregoing
shall, among other things: (a) specify a date, which shall
not be less than 60 days, after the date of the disposition
notice, by which the excess voting shares are to be sold or
otherwise disposed of or, if the Directors determine it to be in
the interest of the Corporation to permit a conversion,
converted into Non-Voting Shares; and (b) state that unless
(i) the registered holder either sells or otherwise
disposes of or converts the excess voting shares into Non-Voting
Shares by the date specified in the disposition notice on a
basis that does not result in any contravention of the
Non-Canadian Share Constraint and provides to the Corporation
written evidence satisfactory to the Corporation of such sale,
other disposition or conversion, or (ii) provides written
evidence satisfactory to the Corporation that no such sale,
other disposition or conversion of excess voting shares is
required, such default shall result in the consequence of
suspension of voting rights and may result in a consequence of
sale or conversion or repurchase or redemption and the
disposition notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature
and timing of those consequences.

TELUS Rights Plan

TELUS adopted the Rights Plan in March 2000 and
issued one right (a Series A Right) in respect
of each Common Share outstanding as at such date and issued one
right (a Series B Right) in respect of each
Non-Voting Share outstanding as of such date. The Rights Plan
has a term of 10 years subject to shareholder confirmation
every three years. The Rights Plan was amended and confirmed as
amended by the shareholders in 2003 and will again require
confirmation in 2006. Each Series A Right, other than those
held by an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Plan) and
certain of its related parties, entitles the holder in certain
circumstances following the acquisition by an Acquiring Person
of 34.2% or more of the voting shares of TELUS (otherwise than
through the Permitted Bid requirements of the Rights
Plan) to purchase from TELUS $320 worth of Common Shares for
$160 (i.e., at a 50% discount). Each Series B Right, other
than those held by an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights
Plan) and certain of its related parties, entitles the holder in
certain circumstances following the acquisition by an Acquiring
Person of 34.2% or more of the voting shares of TELUS (otherwise
than through the Permitted Bid requirements of the
Rights Plan) to purchase from TELUS $320 worth of Non-Voting
Shares for $160 (i.e., at a 50% discount).

CERTAIN TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR
U.S. SHAREHOLDERS

The following discussion generally summarizes
certain material Canadian and U.S. federal income tax
considerations of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of
Offered Shares purchased pursuant to this short form prospectus
by certain U.S. purchasers referred to below. This
discussion is of a general nature and is not intended to be, nor
should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any
particular prospective purchaser. This discussion does not take
into account Canadian provincial or territorial tax laws,
U.S. state or local tax laws, or tax laws of jurisdictions
outside of Canada and the United States. Except as described
below, the following is based upon the tax laws of Canada and
the United States as in effect on the date of this short form
prospectus, which are subject to change with possible
retroactive effect. Prospective purchasers should consult their
own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

Canadian Federal Income Tax
Considerations

The following is a general summary of the
principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally
applicable to a U.S. Resident who acquires Offered Shares
pursuant to this short form prospectus. As used in this

20



---



##### 



summary of Canadian federal income tax
considerations, the term U.S. Resident means a
beneficial owner of Offered Shares who, at all relevant times:
(A) for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)
(i) is not, has not been and will not be or be deemed to
be, resident in Canada, (ii) deals at arms length
with the Corporation and the Underwriters, (iii) is not
affiliated with the Corporation or the Underwriters,
(iv) holds the Offered Shares as capital property,
(v) does not use or hold (and has never used or held) the
Offered Shares in a business carried on in Canada, (vi) in
respect of whom the Offered Shares are not designated
insurance property and are not effectively connected with
an insurance business carried on in Canada; and in addition
(B) for the purposes of the Canada-United States Income
Tax Convention, 1980 (the Convention), is at all
relevant times a resident of the United States.


This summary is based upon the current provisions
of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations
thereunder, all specific proposals to amend the Income Tax
Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder publicly
announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date
of this short form prospectus, the administrative policies and
assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the
CRA) published in writing prior to the date hereof,
and the Convention. This summary is not exhaustive of all
potential Canadian tax consequences to a U.S. Resident and
does not take into account or anticipate any other changes in
law or in the administrative policies or assessing practice of
the CRA, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative
decision or action, nor does it take into account any
provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations.

Taxation of Dividends on Offered
Shares

Under the Income Tax Act (Canada),
dividends (including deemed dividends) on Offered Shares paid or
credited to a non-resident of Canada will be subject to Canadian
withholding tax at the rate of 25% of the gross amount of the
dividends. This withholding tax may be reduced pursuant to the
terms of the Convention. Under the Convention, a
U.S. Resident that is the beneficial owner of the dividends
will generally be subject to Canadian withholding tax at a rate
of 15% of the amount of such dividends. In addition, under the
Convention, dividends may be exempt from Canadian withholding
tax if paid to certain U.S. Residents that are qualifying
religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable
tax-exempt organizations and qualifying trusts, companies,
organizations or arrangements operated exclusively to administer
or provide pension, retirement or employee benefits that are
exempt from tax in the United States and that have complied with
specific administrative procedures.

Disposition of Offered Shares

A U.S. Resident will not be subject to tax
under the Income Tax Act (Canada) in respect of any
capital gain realized by such U.S. Resident on a
disposition or deemed disposition of the Offered Shares unless
the Offered Shares constitute taxable Canadian
property, as defined in the Income Tax Act
(Canada), of the U.S. Resident at the time of disposition
and the holder is not entitled to relief under the Convention.
As long as the Offered Shares are at the time of disposition
listed on a prescribed stock exchange, which currently includes
the TSX and the NYSE, the Offered Shares generally will not
constitute taxable Canadian property of a U.S. Resident,
unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately
preceding the disposition, the U.S. Resident, persons with
whom the U.S. Resident did not deal at arms length
within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada), or the
U.S. Resident together with all such persons, owned 25% or
more of the issued shares of any class or series of shares of
the Companys capital stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in certain circumstances set out in the Income Tax Act
(Canada), the Offered Shares could be deemed to be taxable
Canadian property. U.S. Residents whose Offered Shares are
taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.

United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations

The following is a summary of United States
federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and
disposition of Offered Shares by an investor who purchases
Offered Shares pursuant to this prospectus and who is a
U.S. Holder as defined below. This summary is
based upon existing United States federal tax law, which is
subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This
summary does not discuss all aspects of United States federal
taxation that may be important to particular U.S. Holders
in light of their individual investment circumstances, such as
Offered Shares held by investors subject to special tax rules
(e.g., financial institutions, insurance companies,
broker-dealers, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax,
tax-exempt organizations, persons that have a functional
currency other than the United States dollar, United
States expatriates, and partnerships and partners therein) or to
persons that will hold the Offered Shares as a part of a
straddle, hedge,

##### 



conversion, or synthetic security transaction for
United States federal income tax purposes or to persons who own,
directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the voting shares of
the Corporation, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that
differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition,
this summary does not discuss any state, local, or non-United
States tax considerations. This summary assumes that investors
will hold their Offered Shares as capital assets
(generally, property held for investment) under the United
States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code). Prospective investors are urged to consult
their tax advisors regarding the United States federal income
and other tax consequences of purchasing, owning, and disposing
of the Offered Shares, as well as any tax consequences that may
arise under the laws of any state, local, non-United States or
other taxing jurisdiction.


For purposes of this summary, a
U.S. Holder is:

    treated as a United States person under the Code on the previous
    day, and elected to continue to be so treated.

Distributions

Distributions made with respect to the Offered
Shares, to the extent paid out of current or accumulated
earnings and profits of the Corporation (as determined in
accordance with United States federal income tax principles),
other than certain pro rata distributions of Offered Shares,
will be treated as dividends. The amount of a distribution will
include any amounts of Canadian tax withheld with respect to
such distribution. Such dividends will generally constitute
foreign source passive income for foreign tax credit purposes.
Distributions in excess of current or accumulated earnings and
profits will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to
the extent of a U.S. Holders basis in the Offered
Shares with respect to which such distributions are made and
then as capital gain.

Dividends received by U.S. Holders that are
corporations (or other entitles taxable as corporations) will
not be entitled to a dividends received deduction. Dividends
with respect to the Offered Shares received by individuals in
taxable years beginning before January 1, 2009, that
constitute qualified dividend income will be taxable at a
maximum tax rate of 15% provided that the Offered Shares with
respect to which such dividends are paid are held for more than
60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days
before the ex-dividend date. Dividends paid with respect to the
Offered Shares generally will be qualified dividend income.

Dividends paid in Canadian dollars will be
included in a U.S. Holders income in a United States
dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in
effect on the date of receipt of the dividend, regardless of
whether the payment is in fact converted into United States
dollars. If the dividend is converted into United States dollars
on the date of receipt, U.S. Holders generally should not
be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in
respect of the dividend income. A U.S. Holder who converts
a foreign currency distribution subsequent to its receipt may
have foreign currency gain or loss based on any appreciation or
deprecation in the value of the foreign currency against the
United States dollar, which would generally be United States
source ordinary income or loss.

Canadian taxes withheld from dividends paid with
respect to the Offered Shares will be creditable against a
U.S. Holders United States federal income tax
liability, subject to applicable limitations that may vary
depending upon such holders circumstances. Instead of
claiming a credit, a U.S. Holder may, at its election,
deduct such Canadian taxes in computing its taxable income,
subject to generally applicable limitations under United States
law. Prospective U.S. Holders are urged to consult their
own tax advisors to determine whether they are subject to any
special rules that may limit their ability to make effective use
of foreign tax credits.

Dispositions

Gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange, or
other disposition of Offered Shares by a U.S. Holder will be
taxable as capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital
gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held such Offered Shares

22



---



##### 



for more than one year. Capital gain of an
individual U.S. Holder that is recognized before
January 1, 2009, will generally be taxed at a maximum rate
of 15% where such holder has a holding period greater than one
year. The amount of gain or loss will be equal to the difference
between the U.S. Holders tax basis in the Offered
Shares sold, exchanged, or otherwise disposed of and the amount
realized on such sale, exchange, or other disposition. Such gain
or loss will generally be United States source gain or loss for
foreign tax credit purposes.


If a U.S. Holder sells, exchanges, or
otherwise disposes of Offered Shares and receives Canadian
dollars in exchange therefor, changes in the value of the United
States dollar and the Canadian dollar between the date of sale,
exchange, or other disposition and the date of settlement can
affect the income tax consequences to the U.S. Holder. A
U.S. Holder that receives foreign currency, including
Canadian dollars, upon the sale, exchange, or other disposition
of Offered Shares and converts the foreign currency into United
States dollars subsequent to receipt of such foreign currency
may have foreign exchange gain or loss based upon any
appreciation or deprecation in the value of the foreign currency
against the United States dollar, which would generally be
United States source ordinary income or loss.

Passive Foreign Investment Company
Rules

If during any taxable year of a non-United States
corporation, 75% or more of the corporations gross income
consists of certain types of passive income, or the
average quarterly value during a taxable year of the
passive assets of the corporation (generally assets
that generate passive income) is 50% or more of the average
quarterly value of all the corporations assets, the
corporation will be treated as a passive foreign
investment company or PFIC, under United States federal
income tax law. If the Corporation is treated as a PFIC, a
U.S. Holder may be subject to increased tax liability and
form filing requirements upon the sale, exchange, or other
disposition of Offered Shares or upon the receipt of certain
dividends paid with respect to Offered Shares, unless such
U.S. Holder makes an election to be taxed currently on its
pro rata portion of the Corporations income, whether or
not such income is distributed in the form of dividends, or
makes a mark-to-market election with respect to the
Corporations stock as permitted by the Code. Moreover,
dividends on the Offered Shares would no longer be
qualified dividend income subject to preferential
rates of United States federal income tax, as described above.
Based on our operations and business plans, we do not believe
that we are currently a PFIC and do not expect to become a PFIC
in the foreseeable future.

Information Reporting and Backup
Withholding

Information reporting requirements will apply to
dividends paid with respect to the Offered Shares and the
proceeds received on the sale, exchange, or other disposition of
the Offered Shares paid within the United States (and, in
certain cases, outside of the United States) to
U.S. Holders other than certain exempt recipients (such as
corporations), and a backup withholding tax at a current rate of
28% may apply to such amounts if the U.S. Holder fails to
provide an accurate taxpayer identification number or to report
interest and dividends required to be shown on its United States
federal income tax returns. The amount of any backup withholding
from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit
against the U.S. Holders United States federal income
tax liability, provided that the required information is
furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

| |     |                                                                                                                                                                     
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | (a) | indemnify an eligible party against all eligible
    penalties to which the eligible party is or may be liable;                                                     
|
| | (b) | after the final disposition of an eligible
    proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
    an eligible party in respect of that proceeding.

161 Subject to section 163, a company must,
after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the eligible party
in respect of that proceeding if the eligible party



| |     |                                                                                                                                                                          
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | (a) | has not been reimbursed for those expenses, and

proceeding, the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an
eligible party in respect of that proceeding.



| |     |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | (2) | A company must not make the payments referred to
    in subsection (1) unless the company first receives from
    the eligible party a written undertaking that, if it is
    ultimately determined that the payment of expenses is prohibited
    by section 163, the eligible party will repay the amounts
    advanced.

163 (1) A company must not indemnify an
eligible party under section 160 (a) or pay the
expenses of an eligible party under section 160 (b), 161 or
162 if any of the following circumstances apply:



| |     |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | (a) | if the indemnity or payment is made under an
    earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time
    that the agreement to indemnify or pay expenses was made, the
    company was prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the
    expenses by its memorandum or articles;
|
| | (b) | if the indemnity or payment is made otherwise
    than under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses
    and, at the time that the indemnity or payment is made, the
    company is prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the
    expenses by its memorandum or articles;     
|
| | (c) | if, in relation to the subject matter of the
    eligible proceeding, the eligible party did not act honestly and
    in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company
    or the associated corporation, as the case may be;                                                      
|
| | (d) | in the case of an eligible proceeding other than
    a civil proceeding, if the eligible party did not have
    reasonable grounds for believing that the eligible partys
    conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was
    lawful.                                            

(2) If an eligible proceeding is brought against
an eligible party by or on behalf of the company or by or on
behalf of an associated corporation, the company must not do
either of the following:



| |     |                                                                                                           
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | (a) | indemnify the eligible party under
    section 160 (a) in respect of the proceeding;                      
|
| | (b) | pay the expenses of the eligible party under
    section 160 (b), 161 or 162 in respect of the proceeding.

Article 19 of the Articles of the Registrant
provides as follows:

Indemnity and Protection of Directors,
Officers and Employees

19.1     Subject to the
provisions of the Company Act, the Directors shall cause
the Company to indemnify a Director or former Director of the
Company and the Directors shall cause the Company to indemnify a
director or

II-1

##### 



former director of a corporation of which the
Company is or was a shareholder and the heirs and personal
representatives of any such person against all costs, charges
and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or
satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him or
her or them including an amount paid to settle an action or
satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action
or proceeding to which he or she is or they are made a party by
reason of his or her being or having been a Director of the
Company or a director of such corporation, including any action
brought by the Company or any such corporation. Each Director of
the Company on being elected or appointed shall be deemed to
have contracted with the Company on the terms of the foregoing
indemnity.


19.2     Subject to the
provisions of the Company Act, the Directors shall cause
the Company to indemnify any officer, employee or agent of the
Company or of a corporation of which the Company is or was a
shareholder (notwithstanding that he or she is also a Director)
and his or her heirs and personal representatives against all
costs, charges and expenses whatsoever incurred by him or her or
them and resulting from his or her acting as an officer,
employee or agent of the Company or such corporation. In
addition the Company shall indemnify the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Company (if he or she shall not be a
full time employee of the Company and notwithstanding that he or
she is also a Director) and his or her respective heirs and
legal representatives against all costs, charges and expenses
whatsoever incurred by him or her or them and arising out of the
functions assigned to the Secretary by the Company Act or these
Articles and each such Secretary and Assistant Secretary shall
on being appointed be deemed to have contracted with the Company
on the terms of the foregoing indemnity.

19.3     The failure of
a Director or officer of the Company to comply with the
provisions of the Company Act or of the Memorandum or
these Articles shall not invalidate any indemnity to which he or
she is entitled under this Part.

19.4     The Directors
may cause the Company to purchase and maintain insurance for the
benefit of any person who is or was serving as a Director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company or as a director,
officer, employee or agent of any corporation of which the
Company is or was a shareholder and his or her heirs or personal
representatives against any liability incurred by him or her as
such Director, director, officer, employee or agent.

The Corporation carries liability insurance which
provides for officers and directors of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries, subject to a deductible for executive
indemnification. The policy does not provide coverage for losses
arising from the breach of fiduciary responsibilities under
statutory or common law or from violations of, or the
enforcement of, pollutant laws and regulations, except for
certain defense costs and derivative actions.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant
has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore
unenforceable.
