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

AND UPON the Corporation having represented to the Commission that:

1. The Corporation is a corporation existing under the provisions of the OBCA. The registered office of the Corporation is located at 360 Bay Street, Suite 500, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2V6.

4. Pursuant to clause 4(b) of the Regulation, where a corporation is an offering corporation under the OBCA, the Application for Continuance must be accompanied by a consent from the Commission.

5. The Corporation is an offering corporation under the OBCA and is a reporting issuer under the Securities Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. S.5, as amended (the "Act"). The Corporation is also a reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta.

6. The Corporation's common shares are listed for trading on The TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "FOS".

11. The management information circular of the Corporation dated August 22, 2006, provided to all the shareholders of the Corporation in connection with the Meeting, included a summary of the differences between the CBCA and the OBCA and advised holders of the Corporation's common shares of their dissent rights in connection with the continuance pursuant to Section 185 of the OBCA.

12. The continuance under the CBCA has been proposed because the Corporation believes it to be in its best interest to conduct its affairs in accordance with the CBCA.

13. The material rights, duties and obligations of a corporation under the CBCA are substantially similar to those under the OBCA with the exception that the OBCA requires a majority of a corporation's directors be resident Canadians whereas the CBCA requires only one-quarter of directors need be resident Canadians.

AND UPON the Commission being satisfied that to do so would not be prejudicial to the public interest;

THE COMMISSION hereby consents to the continuance of the Corporation under the CBCA.
