We have limited our review of your filing to those issues we have addressed in our comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments. Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2005 Tabular disclosure of contractual obligations, page 17 1.

Consolidated Financial Statements Auditors` Report 3. Please include an accountants` report in your Form 20-F for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2002. 4. We note that your audit report was signed by an audit firm based in Toronto, Canada. Please tell us how you concluded that it is appropriate to have an audit report issued by an auditor licensed outside of the United States, in light of the facts that the majority of your assets are located within, the majority of your expenses are derived within, and your corporate offices are located in the United States. In accordance with Article 2 of Regulation S-X, we believe that the audit report of a registrant should ordinarily be rendered by an auditor licensed in the United States. Further guidance may be found in Section 5.K of "International Reporting and Disclosure Issues in the Division of Corporation Finance" on the Commission`s website at: http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/internatl/cfirdissues1104.htm ..

We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filing to be certain that the filing includes all information required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that they have provided all information investors require for an informed investment decision. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made. In connection with responding to our comments, please provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that: * the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; * staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and * the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement has access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance in our review of your filing or in response to our comments on your filing.
