Dear Mr. Webber:
We only received this morning (June 15, 2001) your June 14, 2001 email
message requesting an extension to the June 14, 2001 deadline, and it was
already too late to pull out our notice of public hearing from the next
issue of NewsNorth -presently under production- without incurring a high
penalty. I sincerely apologize for not being in a position to respond
favourably to your request.

The notice, which will also be sent today to our distribution list, confirms
that a one-day hearing will be held on August 9, 2001 in Kugluktuk and that
the deadline to submit written comments on EBL's application is July 24,
2001. In that respect, notwithstanding the fact that you were not able to
provide comments on the Board's proposed procedure, there is sufficient time
for
your client and other interested parties to review EBL's application and
prepare written submissions to the Board in preparation for the hearing.

Regards,

Philippe di Pizzo
Executive Director
Nunavut Water Board
