  2. that any exemptions contained in Ontario securities law do not apply to the Respondents;

AND WHEREAS, on April 9, 2010, the Commission ordered that the Temporary Order shall expire on the 15th day after its making unless extended by order of the Commission;

AND WHEREAS on April 13, 2010, the Commission issued a Notice of Hearing to consider, among other things, the extension of the Temporary Order, to be held on April 23, 2010 at 12 noon (the “Notice of Hearing”);

AND WHEREAS on April 23, 2010, a Hearing was held before the Commission where counsel for Staff of the Commission (“Staff”) attended but counsel for the Respondents did not attend;

AND WHEREAS on April 23, 2010, Staff provided the Commission with correspondence from counsel for the Respondents, as evidenced by the Affidavit of Eden Williams, sworn on April 23, 2010, and filed with the Commission, wherein the Respondents consented to the adjournment of the extension of the Temporary Order as proposed by counsel for Staff;

AND WHEREAS on April 23, 2010, the Commission considered the evidence and submissions before it and the Commission was of the opinion that, in the absence of a continuing cease-trade order, the length of time required to conclude a hearing could be prejudicial to the public interest; and, it was in the public interest to extend the Temporary Order;
