5. The Filer was unable to file the Continuous Disclosure Documents on or before April 30, 2007 due to delays in the integration of the Filer's acquired business and for reasons relating to reporting from the Filer's recently established Venezuelan office.

6. On May 7, 2007, the Filer filed the Continuous Disclosure Documents with the Commission through SEDAR and is up-to-date on all of its other continuous disclosure obligations, has paid all outstanding filing fees and has complied with National Instrument 51-102 -- Continuous Disclosure Obligations regarding delivery of the Continuous Disclosure Documents and except for the Management Cease Trade Order, is not otherwise in default of any requirement of Ontario securities law.

AND UPON considering the application and the recommendation of the staff of the Commission;

AND UPON the Director being satisfied that it would not be prejudicial to the public interest to revoke the Management Cease Trade Order;

IT IS ORDERED under Section 144 of the Act that the Management Cease Trade Order is revoked.

Dated this 14th day of May, 2007.
