And whereas, by Order in Council P.C. 2006-22 of January 30, 2006, the Governor in Council directed that a proclamation do issue declaring that the Government Corporations Operation Act is applicable to BDC Capital Inc.;

Now know you that We, by and with the advice of Our Privy Council for Canada and pursuant to Order in Council P.C. 2006-22 of January 30, 2006, do by this Our proclamation declare that the Government Corporations Operation Act is applicable to BDC Capital Inc.

Of all which Our loving subjects and all others whom these presents may concern are hereby required to take notice and to govern themselves accordingly.
