Unfortunately, we have experienced a bit of a set-back re Ontario market opening. As you know, the market was scheduled to open November 1,2000. We had anticipated somewhat of a delay and had forecasted a Feb 1, 2001 start. This week the Minister of Energy announced that market opening would be delayed "about 6 months". This of course is very dissppointing to us and Aleck Dadson is working hard with the Ministry and other interested parties in shoring up a date with a tighter time frame. The reason for the delay is primarily due to the lack of readiness on behalf of the IMO. This is a frustrating situation for the minister and as such he has moved to appoint myself to the IMO Board. It should be noted that the Minister did not accept the IMO's board recommendation but unilaterally went with me. He was intent on appointing someone who had goal alignment re opening this market asap. This goes a long way in illustrating the great job our regulatory group (Aleck Dadson) has done/is doing in positioning/developing credibility with the Ministry of Energy. I know that you had concerns re time commitment but I believe strongly that Enron needs a voice at the IMO Board as this is a critical point in time to shape this marketplace. Regards Milnthorp
