TransCanada PipeLines Limited

450 - 1st Street S.W.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 5H1

Dear
Shareholder: 

At
the Annual and Special Meeting of shareholders on April 25, 2003, the Board of Directors will be asking common shareholders to vote on a proposal to change the corporate structure of
TransCanada PipeLines Limited. 

Under
the proposal, a new holding company — TransCanada Corporation — will be created to become the parent of TransCanada
PipeLines Limited. This new structure will give the company greater flexibility to implement its strategies for growth and value creation, including the extent of our participation in projects such as
a pipeline from the North. The change will have no impact on our day-to-day operations. 

This
set of questions and answers accompanies the detailed information that is provided on pages 32-46 in the Proxy Circular. 

If
you require any further information, please e-mail us at investor_ relations@transcanada.com or call us toll free at 1.800.361.6522 

	

 	

 
	Richard F. Haskayne

Chairman of the Board	Harold N. Kvisle

President and CEO

  

The following is a brief overview of the contents of the Proxy Circular and is provided for convenience of reference only. This guide should be read in conjunction with, and is
qualified in its entirety by, the more detailed information appearing in the body of the Proxy Circular including the schedules thereto. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms when used in
this Proxy Circular have the meaning given to them in the Glossary of Terms annexed as Schedule "G" to the Proxy Circular.

TRANSCANADA CORPORATION Q&A    

 

Creating TransCanada Corporation  

What it means for you  

	•	Common shareholders of TransCanada PipeLines Limited will automatically become common shareholders of TransCanada Corporation
	

•	

Each TransCanada PipeLines Limited common share will be recognized as one TransCanada Corporation common share
	

•	

TransCanada Corporation shares will be publicly traded and listed on the TSX and the NYSE
	

•	

Common shareholders do not need to take any action — your TransCanada PipeLines Limited shares will automatically be exchanged as TransCanada Corporation shares

 

Q. What do I have to do to get my common shares of TransCanada Corporation?  

If
the proposal is approved, the existing certificates for TransCanada PipeLines Limited common shares will be recognized as representing the corresponding common shares of TransCanada Corporation. It
will not be necessary for shareholders to exchange their share certificates. 

Similarly,
shareholders who hold their common shares through a broker do not need to take any action. Your common shares will automatically be recognized as TransCanada Corporation shares. 

Q. Will there be any change in the way dividends will be paid and received?  

No.
The declaration and payment of dividends will still be at the discretion of the Board of Directors. 

Q. I am a participant in the dividend reinvestment plan. Will this plan continue to be available?  

Yes.
TransCanada Corporation will have a dividend reinvestment plan for common shareholders. This plan will allow reinvestment of dividends received on TransCanada Corporation common shares in the
same manner as the TransCanada PipeLines Limited plan. You do not need to take any action to continue to participate in the dividend reinvestment plan. 

If
the plan is approved, all shareholders will receive a letter providing additional information on the TransCanada Corporation dividend reinvestment plan. 

Q. Will preferred shareholders receive new shares in TransCanada Corporation?  

No.
Only the common shares of TransCanada PipeLines Limited will become common shares of TransCanada Corporation. Existing preferred shareholders will remain preferred shareholders of TransCanada
PipeLines Limited. 

Q. Will I have to pay any tax on the transaction?  

Generally
speaking, no gain or loss will be recognized for income tax purposes. More detailed information is provided in the Proxy Circular. If you have any additional questions, we recommend you
consult your personal tax or financial advisor. 

Information
related to the tax implications for institutional shareholders is included in the Proxy Circular.

Proposed Corporate Structure:
	

 	

 

  

Q. What is the rationale for this change?  

The
rationale for this change is two — fold: to address certain restrictions contained in the terms and conditions of the company's debt, and to provide the
company with greater flexibility in how it holds its assets in the future. 

Some
of the company's trust indentures have a covenant, or restriction, that effectively sets a limit on how much TransCanada PipeLines Limited can invest in certain types of assets. If the company
exceeds this limit, it would be prohibited from paying dividends. While TransCanada PipeLines Limited presently has significant capacity to invest in assets, many of the types of restricted assets are
in businesses the company has targeted for future growth. 

For
example: 

	•	The covenant allows for investment in natural gas-fired power generation, but restricts investment in power generated from other sources such as low-cost hydroelectric or biomass.
	

•	

The covenant may constrain investments of any kind, including investment in natural gas pipelines, if we share control of those investments with partners. Many opportunities for the expansion of our pipeline business may require
partners — for example, new pipelines from the North as well as the potential for investment in existing pipelines in the United States.
	

•	

The covenant could restrict us from buying all of a pipeline in the U.S. if that pipeline is required by its U.S. regulator to borrow from third parties.

Under the proposed holding company structure, TransCanada PipeLines Limited will continue to hold its existing assets and be subject to its existing liabilities, including
liabilities to holders of its debt under its trust indentures. TransCanada Corporation would be the company that common shareholders would own and it would be the Board of TransCanada Corporation that
would declare common share dividends. TransCanada Corporation 

TRANSCANADA CORPORATION Q&A    3

 

would not be bound by the covenant contained in the trust indentures of TransCanada PipeLines Limited. 

Q. Couldn't you just remove the covenant?  

We
explored a number of alternatives to address the potential constraints imposed by the covenant. In the summer of 2002, we approached the Canadian holders of TransCanada PipeLines Limited's debt
with a proposal to eliminate the covenant. While almost two-thirds of debt holders who voted were in favour of the
proposal, we did not obtain the required consent of holders of 75 per cent of the principal amount of these securities to make this change. 

Q. Why did the lenders put the covenant in place?  

We
believe the covenant was put into place (in the early 1980s) to address a set of concerns that were unique to TransCanada PipeLines Limited at that time. We are not aware of any other large
Canadian company that is subject to similar restrictions. 

When
the covenant was first put into place, Dome Petroleum held a significant equity stake in TransCanada PipeLines Limited. At the time, TransCanada PipeLines Limited made many investments in Dome's
businesses. For example, the company owned minority stakes in a number of Dome's oil and gas fields. We believe that lenders were concerned about these investments and put the covenant in place to
restrict them. They may have also wanted to restrict TransCanada PipeLines Limited to the oil and gas businesses that it was in at the time. 

Much
has changed in the past twenty years. TransCanada PipeLines Limited is now widely held — no one person or group holds a significant block of shares. The
reasons for the covenant are no longer applicable but the terms and conditions remain. Today, those terms and conditions could place significant restrictions on our ability to implement our strategies
for growth and value creation in our core businesses of natural gas transmission and power. 

Q. Won't the holding company structure allow you to pursue riskier ventures?  

One
of the concerns we have with the existing covenant is that it could prevent us from investing in a number of low-risk ventures that fit within our core strategies. Examples of these
include regulated pipelines in the U.S. and low-cost hydroelectric generation. On the other hand, the existing covenant does allow many risky ventures, for example oil and gas exploration
or petrochemicals manufacturing. By moving to a holding company structure, we'll be better positioned to pursue our existing strategies in natural gas transmission and power. 

Q. Will this change open the door to new lines of business (outside of pipe and power)?  

We
are committed to the strategic direction we've pursued over the past three years and that we discuss in this year's annual report. We presently do not have any plans for significant change in our
business, operations or assets. 

Q. What happens if the proposal is not approved by shareholders?  

The
Board is unanimously recommending that all common shareholders vote in favour of this resolution as it is in the best interests of the company and is fair to all shareholders. If the proposal is
not approved, the Board will need to examine other alternatives to allow the company to pursue its plans for the future. 

Q. Will there be any changes for employees?  

This
is purely a legal change in our corporate structure and has no impact on our day-to-day operations or our employees. All of the existing employees of TransCanada will
continue to be employed by TransCanada PipeLines Limited. The new company, TransCanada Corporation, will not have any employees. The management and Board of TransCanada PipeLines Limited will also
manage TransCanada Corporation. 

Q. Will the Board and Management be paid more for serving two companies?  

No
additional compensation will be paid to either the directors or management for their dual roles in TransCanada Corporation and TransCanada PipeLines Limited.

          AMENDED AND RESTATED KEY EMPLOYEE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN (1996)

1.       NAME:

This plan, as amended from time to time, shall be known as the "RADVIEW SOFTWARE

         (the "Company") and its subsidiaries by providing them with

         approved by the Board of Directors of the Company which is designed to
         benefit from, and is made pursuant to, the provisions of the "Capital
         Gain Track" under Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New
         Version], 1961, as amended (hereinafter - the "Ordinance") and the
         rules promulgated thereunder; and (ii) to provide incentives to

         Company.

2.2      [Intentionally Omitted]

2.3      All provisions of this Plan shall apply, MUTATIS MUTANDIS, to grants of
         options to consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. For the
         avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise resolved by the Committee (as
         defined below) or the Board of Directors, options issued hereunder to
         consultants shall not be subject to Section 5 hereof.

3.       ADMINISTRATION:

3.1      The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee (the
         "Committee"), which will consist of such number of Directors of the
         Company (not less than two (2) in number), as may be fixed from time to
         time by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors
         shall appoint the members of the Committee and may from time to time

         vacancies in the Committee however caused.

3.2      The Committee shall select one of its members as its Chairman and shall
         hold its meetings at such times and places as it shall determine.
         Actions at a meeting of the Committee at which all of its members are
         present, or acts reduced to or approved in writing by all members of
         the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee. The Committee
         may appoint a Secretary, who shall keep records of its meetings and
         shall make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business
         as it shall deem advisable.

3.3      Subject to the general terms and conditions of this Plan, the Committee
         shall have full authority to recommend to the Board of Directors, in
         its discretion, from time to time and at any time (i) the persons
         ("Grantees") to whom "Option Awards" (as hereinafter defined) shall be
         granted, (ii) the number of shares to be covered by each Option Award,
         (iii) the time or times at which the same shall be granted, (iv) the
         price, schedule and conditions on which such Option Awards may be
         exercised and on which such shares shall be paid for, and/or (v) any
         other matter which is necessary or desirable for, or incidental to, the
         administration of the Plan. The Board of Directors shall have the
         exclusive authority to grant options under this Plan.

3.4      The Committee may from time to time adopt such rules and regulations
         for carrying out the plan as it may deem best. No member of the Board
         of Directors or of the Committee shall be liable for any action or
         determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option
         Award granted thereunder.

<PAGE>

3.5      The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision
         of the Plan or of any Option Award thereunder shall be final and
         conclusive unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors.

3.6      Any authority delegated herein to the Committee, may be exercised by
         the Board of Directors. Resolution of the Board of Directors in matters
         delegated to the Committee shall supercede any conflicting resolution
         by the Committee.

4.       GRANT OF OPTIONS AND ELIGIBLE GRANTEES:

4.1      [Intentionally Omitted]

4.2      Option Awards may be granted to any officer, director, consultant, key
         employee or other employee of the Company and its subsidiaries. The
         grant of an Option Award to a Grantee hereunder shall neither entitle
         such Grantee to participate, nor disqualify him from participating, in
         any other grant of options pursuant to this Plan or any other share
         incentive or stock option plan of the Company.

4.3      Israeli employees and/or directors of the Company, except however
         Controlling Shareholders (as such term is defined in Section 32(9) of
         the Ordinance) shall benefit from the "Capital Gain Track" and be
         subject to Section 102(b)(2) of the Ordinance. Furthermore, the Company
         shall not be entitled to grant Option Awards to any Israeli employees
         and/or directors of the Company (who are not Controlling Shareholders),
         other than under the "Capital Gain Track" before January 1, 2005.

5.       TRUSTEE:

The following provisions shall apply to Option Awards granted to Israeli
employees and or directors of the Company:

5.1.     Option Awards and/or shares in the Company that will be issued upon the
         exercise of the Option Awards will be held in trust and registered
         under the name of a trustee (the "Trustee"), who shall hold them in
         trust for the benefit of the Grantee in respect of whom such Option
         Award was granted. All certificates representing shares of the Company
         issued to the Trustee under the Plan shall be deposited with the
         Trustee, and shall be held by the Trustee until such time that such
         shares are released from the trust as herein provided.

5.2      Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Option Awards and/or
         shares in the Company which will be issued upon the exercise of the
         Option Awards may not be released from the trust before a date (the
         "Release Date") which shall be the later of: (i) the lapse of two (2)
         calendar years from the end of the calendar year of the Date of Grant
         (as defined in Section 7.1 below); (ii) the vesting of such Option
         Awards.

5.3      After the Release Date, upon the written request of the Grantee, the
         Trustee shall release Option Awards and/or shares in the Company which
         will be issued upon the exercise of the Option Awards, from the trust
         by executing and delivering to the Company such instrument(s) as the
         Company may require, giving due notice of such release to such Grantee,
         provided, however, that the Trustee shall not so release any such
         Option Awards and/or shares to such Grantee unless, prior to, or
         concurrently with, such release, the latter provides the Trustee with
         evidence, satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee, that all
         taxes, if any, required to be paid upon such release have, in fact,
         been paid. Alternatively, from and after the Release Date, upon the
         written instructions of the Grantee to sell any Ordinary Shares issued
         upon exercise of Options, the Trustee shall use its best efforts to
         effect such sale and shall transfer such shares to the purchaser
         thereof concurrently with the receipt, or after having made suitable
         arrangements to secure the payment of the proceeds, of the purchase
         price in such transaction. The Trustee shall withhold from such
         proceeds any and all taxes required to be paid in respect of such sale,
         shall remit the amount so withheld to the appropriate tax authorities,
         and shall pay the balance thereof directly to the Grantee (after
         deducting its costs as provided hereunder), reporting to such Grantee
         and to the Company the amount so withheld and paid to said tax
         authorities.

<PAGE>

5.4      Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may resolve, whether on a case
         by case basis or as a general rule, that Grantees may release Option
         Awards and/or shares in the Company which will be issued upon the
         exercise of the Option Awards from the trust before the Release Date,
         in which case the Grantees concerned shall bear the tax consequences of
         such early release.

5.5      Should the Trustee sell Ordinary Shares at the request of the Grantee,
         the Grantee shall pay the Trustee for its services and expenses
         incurred with respect to such sale of shares, and the Trustee will be
         entitled to withhold such amounts and pay the balance thereof to said
         Grantee.

6.       RESERVED SHARES:

The Company by Board of Directors resolution shall reserved from time to time
certain amounts of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares (nominal value NIS
0.01 per share) for purposes of the Plan, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 11 hereof. All shares under the Plan, in respect of which the right
hereunder of a Grantee to purchase the same shall, for any reason, terminate,
expire or otherwise cease to exist, shall again be available for grant through
the Option Awards under the Plan.

7.       OPTION AWARDS:

7.1      The Committee, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, may
         award to Grantees options to purchase shares in the Company available
         under the Plan ("Option Awards"). The date of grant ("Date of Grant")
         of each Option Award shall be the date specified by the Committee at
         the time such award is made.

7.2      The instrument granting an Option Award shall state, INTER ALIA, the
         number of shares covered thereby, the dates when it may be exercised,
         the option price, the schedule on which such shares may be paid for and
         such other terms and conditions as the Committee at its discretion may
         prescribe, provided that they are consistent with this Plan.

8.       OPTION PRICE:

The price per share covered by each Option Award shall be as determined by the
Committee, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, on the date of
grant, provided that such price per share for any Option Award shall not be less
than the par value of the share.

9.       EXERCISE OF OPTION AWARD:

9.1      Option Awards shall be exercisable pursuant to the terms under which
         they were awarded and subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan.

9.2      An Option Award, or any part thereof, shall be exercisable by the
         Grantee's signing and returning to the Company at its principal office,
         with a copy to the Trustee, a "Notice of Exercise" which will also
         constitute a Share Incentive Agreement (the "Agreement") in such form
         and substance as may be prescribed by the Committee from time to time.

9.3      Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, but without derogating
         from the provisions of Sections 5 and 10 hereof, if any Option Award or
         any part thereof, has not been exercised and the shares covered thereby
         not paid for within sixty-two (62) months after the date of grant (or
         any other period set forth in the instrument granting such Option Award
         pursuant to Section 7), such Option Award, or such part thereof, and
         the right to acquire such shares, shall terminate, all interests and
         rights of the Grantee in and to the same shall ipso facto expire, and,
         in the event that in connection with such unexercised options any
         shares are held in trust as aforesaid, such trust shall ipso facto
         expire and the trustee shall thereafter hold such shares in an
         unallocated pool until instructed by the Company that some or all of
         such shares are again to be held in trust for one or more Grantees.

<PAGE>

9.4      Each payment for shares under an Option Award shall be in respect of a
         whole number of shares, shall be effected in cash or by a cashier's or
         certified check payable to the order of the Company, or such other
         method of payment acceptable to the Company, and shall be accompanied
         by a notice stating the number of shares being paid for thereby.

9.5      In the event that the Company will distribute cash dividends or any
         other cash payments to shareholders, then the dividends (or cash
         payments) relating to the shares already exercised will be transferred
         to the Trustee, who will transfer dividends (or cash payments) to
         Grantees who exercised the Option Awards to the extent exercised.

9.6      Each Grantee will be fully liable as a shareowner in the Company to the
         extent of the number and percentage of shares held on his behalf by the
         Trustee as a result of the exercise of any Option Award up to the
         nominal value of his shares.

10.      TERMINATION OF RELATIONSHIP:

10.1     If a Grantee should, for any reason, cease to be employed by the
         Company, or a non-employee director, or a consultant, of the Company,
         as the case may be, then all of his rights, if any, in respect of (a)
         all Option Awards theretofore granted to him under the Plan and not
         exercised (to the extent that they are exercisable at the time of
         termination of relationship) within two (2) weeks after such cessation
         of relationship, and (b) all shares which may be purchased by him under
         the Plan and which are not fully paid for within two (2) weeks after
         such cessation of relationship, shall ipso facto terminate.

10.2     In the event of such resignation or termination of Employment or
         relationship of a Grantee from the employ or service of the Company,
         his employment or service shall, for the purposes of this Section 10 be
         deemed to have ceased upon the delivery to the Company or its
         subsidiary, as the case may be, of notice of resignation or termination
         of service, or upon the delivery to the employee, the director or the
         consultant of notice of termination of employment or service, as the
         case may be, irrespective of the effective date of such resignation or
         termination of employment or service.

10.3     [Intentionally Omitted]

10.4     [Intentionally Omitted]

10.5     [Intentionally Omitted]

10.6     [Intentionally Omitted]

10.7     Death, Disability, Retirement:

         Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

         10.7.1   If a Grantee shall die while in the employ or service of the
                  Company, his estate, to the extent that it has acquired by
                  will or by operation of law the rights of the deceased Grantee
                  under the Plan, shall be entitled for a period of three (3)
                  months following the date of death of such Grantee, to
                  exercise such rights of such Grantee not theretofore
                  exercised, to the same extent (but only to the extent), and on
                  the same terms, as the deceased Grantee could have done during
                  or at the end of such three-month period had he survived and
                  had he continued his employ with the Company.

         10.7.2   If a Grantee is unable to continue to be employed by the
                  Company or to provide services to the Company, by reason of
                  his becoming incapacitated while in the employ or service of
                  the Company as a result of an accident or illness or other
                  cause which is approved by the Committee, such Grantee shall
                  continue to enjoy rights under the Plan on such terms and
                  conditions as the Committee in its discretion may determine.

<PAGE>

         10.7.3   If an employee Grantee should retire, he shall continue to
                  enjoy such rights, if any, under the Plan and on such terms
                  and conditions as the Committee in its discretion may
                  determine.

11.      ADJUSTMENTS:

Upon the happening of any of the following described events, a Grantee's rights
to purchase shares under the Plan shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided:

11.1     In the event the Ordinary Shares of the Company shall be subdivided or
         combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if, upon a
         merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or the like,
         the Ordinary Shares of the Company shall be exchanged for other
         securities of the Company or of another corporation, then, upon the
         exercise of an Option Award, each Grantee shall be entitled, subject to
         the conditions herein stated, to purchase such number of Ordinary
         Shares or amount of other securities of the Company or such other
         corporation as were exchangeable for the number of Ordinary Shares of
         the Company which such Grantee would have been entitled to purchase
         except for such action, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in
         the purchase price per share to reflect such subdivision, combination,
         or exchange.

11.2     In the event that the Company shall issue any of its Ordinary Shares or
         other securities as bonus shares (stock dividend) upon or with respect
         to any shares which shall at the time be subject to a right of purchase
         by a Grantee hereunder, each Grantee, upon exercising such right, shall
         be entitled to receive (for the purchase price payable upon such
         exercise), the shares as to which he is exercising his said right and,
         in addition thereto (at no additional cost), such number of shares of
         the class or classes in which such bonus shares (stock dividend) were
         declared, and such amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, as is
         equal to the amount of shares and the amount of cash in lieu of
         fractional shares which he would have received had he been the holder
         of the shares as to which he is exercising his said right at all times
         between the date of the granting of such right and the date of its
         exercise.

11.3     Upon the happening of any of the foregoing events, the class and
         aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the Plan, in
         respect of which Option Awards have not yet been granted, shall also be
         appropriately adjusted to reflect the events specified in Sections 11.1
         and 11.2 above.

11.4     The Committee shall determine the specific adjustments to be made under
         this Section 11, and its determination shall be conclusive.

12.      ASSIGNABILITY AND SALE OF SHARES:

No Option Award and no shares purchasable hereunder, whether fully paid or not,
shall be assignable, transferable or given as collateral or any right to them
given to any third party whatsoever, and during the lifetime of the Grantee each
and all of his rights to purchase shares hereunder shall be exercisable only by
him.

13. TERM AND AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN:

13.1     The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall
         expire when the Board so resolves (except as to Option Awards
         outstanding on that date).

13.2     Subject to applicable laws, the Board of Directors may, at any time and
         from time to time, terminate or amend the Plan in any respect. In no
         event will any action of the Company alter or impair the rights of a
         Grantee, without his consent, under any Option Award previously granted
         to him.

14.      CONTINUANCE OF EMPLOYMENT:

Neither the Plan nor the Agreement shall impose any obligation on the Company to
continue to keep any Grantee in its employ or service, and nothing in the Plan
or in any Option Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Grantee
any right to continue in the employ of the Company, or restrict the right of the
Company to terminate such employment at any time.
