SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA’s Arassay and Vincent Eliminated

>

TORONTO, Nov. 20 /CNW/ - With only two weeks left before Canada names its
favourite dancer, it was revealed live on CTV tonight that following more than
2 million votes from last night’s countrywide poll, the journey has ended for
ARASSAY and VINCENT on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA. Next week, the six
remaining dancers will take to the stage for the Top 6 Performance episode on
Wednesday, November 26 at 8 p.m. ET on CTV (visit CTV.ca to confirm local
listings).

Before the results were revealed, The Top 8 had the chance to take to the
stage and each perform a solo of their choice. With voting now based on
individual competitors, the performances wouldn’t change the results and for
two competitors, it would be their last chance to perform on the program.
Following the solos, host Leah Miller announced that the two girls who
received the lowest number of votes were ARASSAY and LISA and the guys with
the lowest number of votes were VINCENT and IZAAK. Then, it was revealed live
that ARASSAY Reyes, 21, a Contemporary/Latin dancer from South Surrey, BC and
VINCENT Noiseux, 22, a Contemporary/Hip-Hop dancer from
Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC would be going home.

During the performance episode on Wednesday, the Top 8 competitors
revelled in compliments from guest judge Dan Karaty, who exclaimed that he has
judged around the world and “the Canadian show, especially the dancers on it,
is second to none.”

Kicking off the results show were the Top 8 who took to the stage to
perform a paso doble co-choreographed by judge Jean Marc Genereux and his wife
France Mousseau. Driven by building guitar beats, the competitors performed
with swooping capes and intricate footwork to “Malaguena” by Brian Setzer ‘68
Comeback Special.

Next week, audiences will welcome Mary Murphy back behind the judge’s
desk along with SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA choreographer Sean Cheesman.
The two join Tré Armstrong and Jean Marc Genereux.

Best known as the “Queen of Scream” on the U.S. version of SO YOU THINK
YOU CAN DANCE, Murphy was also a guest judge during the audition tour on SO
YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA, and sat behind the judge’s desk for SO YOU
THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA’s Top 14 week.

Calgary’s Sean Cheesman is an internationally-renowned
director/choreographer who has worked with some of the world’s top
entertainers including Janet Jackson, TLC, Prince, Vanessa Williams, Tina
Turner, Whitney Houston, Queen Latifah and Britney Spears. Cheesman has toured

low-latency access to trading and data. Having access to the trading engines

TORONTO, Nov. 20 /CNW/ - TSX Datalinx, TMX Group’s data business, today
announced the beta launch of its real-time Canadian Best Bid and Offer
(CBBO(R)) data feed. It is the second phase of the previously launched
real-time Consolidated Data Feed (CDF(TM)).
CDF and CBBO provide low-latency access to market data from multiple
Canadian equity market centres. TSX Datalinx’s goal for these products is to

today and reduce the overall industry’s cost of acquiring data by leveraging
existing TSX connectivity. The equity markets currently participating in the
CDF and CBBO are Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), Chi-X Canada, Pure Trading and
Omega ATS. TSX Datalinx has also extended invitations to other Canadian equity
markets to contribute to the CDF and CBBO suite of consolidated products.
Antoine Babule, Managing Director of Newedge Canada said: “We are
expanding our trading in the Canadian equity and derivatives markets.
Accessing Canadian equity marketplace content through the CDF and CBBO is a
logical step for Newedge. It allows us to leverage our existing market data
infrastructure, which is co-located at TMX, to reduce our development and
ongoing support costs for this data.”
“CDF and CBBO facilitate access to critical market data from Canadian
market centres for domestic and international customers. With its range of
content and existing connectivity to vendors, dealers and trading networks,
TMX Group is the logical consolidator of Canadian equity market data,” said
Richard Carleton, Vice President Corporate Development at Pure Trading, a
facility of CNSX Markets, one of the contributors to the CDF and CBBO.
TSX Datalinx plans to expand the product offering to include deeper
consolidated pre-trade order book information, consolidated trade information
and opaque market information. “TSX Datalinx has over 165,000 real time data
subscriptions globally on September 30, 2008 and there has been substantial
domestic and international client interest in our consolidated equities
information. We will continue to work with our clients to provide relevant

Toronto Stock Exchange Revised Listing Fee Schedule

TORONTO, Nov. 20 /CNW/ - TMX Group Inc. (TSX: X) today announced a
revised listing fee schedule for Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). The new fee
schedule will apply starting January 1, 2009.
TSX expects most of its individual listed issuers to experience a
reduction in sustaining fees in 2009, due to lower market capitalization.
Overall, this reduction will be partially offset by an estimated $3M to $4M
aggregate increase in sustaining fees, as a result of the introduction of the
new schedule. The estimated increase in sustaining fees is based on market
capitalization as of November 4, 2008. Listing fees at all major exchanges
were reviewed to ensure TSX fees remain competitive with those marketplaces.
The amendments to the listing fee schedule include changes to the base
and maximum sustaining fees for corporate issuers (variable fee rates remain
unchanged); the fees payable for corporate reorganizations, which include
income trust conversions; and the maximum fees payable for security-based
compensation arrangements (minimum fees and the variable fee rates remain
unchanged). Original listing and additional listing fees (other than for
security-based compensation arrangements) remain unchanged.

The revised Listing Fee Schedule for TSX listed issuers is available on
the TSX website at www.tsx.com.

NGX Continues Successful Expansion Into Key U.S. Markets

Transco Station 65 to Open in December

TORONTO and CALGARY, Nov. 20 /CNW/ - Natural Gas Exchange Inc. (NGX), a
wholly owned subsidiary of TMX Group Inc. (TMX Group), announced today its
plan to offer physical clearing services at its tenth U.S. hub - Transco’s
Station 65 - in mid December 2008.
“Despite extraordinary market conditions, North American physical energy
traders have responded by channelling an increasing share of their
over-the-counter transactions through NGX’s clearing facility further
contributing to NGX’s success,” said Tom Kloet, CEO of TMX Group.
“NGX is planning to open Transco Station 65 in mid December of this year,
after successfully launching its ninth U.S. Hub - Columbia TCO Appalachia - on
November 7th,” noted Peter Krenkel, President of NGX. “Establishing a
permanent Houston office combined with our alliance with
IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) have propelled NGX’s business in the U.S. to a
point that we now expect to double the number of U.S. hubs in 2009 to
facilitate physical clearing services for our customers.”
NGX is North America’s largest clearing and settlement facility for
physical energy products. The company has experienced a 36% increase in
cleared volumes as at the end of September 2008 over the same period last
year, bringing the total notional value of natural gas and power contracts
cleared this year to more than $CAD 80 billion.
“ICE’s alliance with NGX for the clearing of physical energy contracts in
North America has exceeded our expectations for success over the past year,”
said Chuck Vice, ICE’s President and COO. “We anticipate that our alliance
will provide additional benefits to energy market participants as we continue
to roll out new products later this year and into 2009.”

CANADIAN Financials & Utilities Split Corp. Announcement

November 20th, 2008

CONNOR, CLARK & LUNN CAPITAL MARKETS INC.

: November 20, 2008 17:25

CANADIAN Financials & Utilities Split Corp. Announcement

TORONTO, Nov. 20 /CNW/ - CANADIAN Financials & Utilities Split Corp. (the
“Company”) was created to provide investors with a low cost, diversified
investment in a high quality, passive portfolio comprised of Canadian banks,
utilities and pipeline issuers and non-bank financials. The Company issued
Class A Shares and Preferred Shares rated Pfd-1 by DBRS based on the
securities included in the portfolio and by introducing a protective
leveraging and de-leveraging mechanism. As stated in the prospectus, the
investment objectives of the Preferred Shares are to provide holders with
stable quarterly distributions and to repay the original issue price of $10.00
per Preferred Share at maturity on January 31, 2012. Holders of Class A Shares
have leveraged exposure to the portfolio which amplifies the portfolio’s
performance in both positive and negative return environments. Holders of
Class A Shares are also entitled to all dividends and distributions received
on the portfolio (net of operating expenses and the Preferred Share
distributions).
The leveraging and de-leveraging mechanism offers the ability to increase
leverage when the Company’s portfolio appreciates in value and reduce leverage
when the portfolio declines in value. Leverage is actively managed by RBC
Dominion Securities Inc. (”RBC”) in its capacity as the Company’s Leverage
Agent. The value of the Company’s portfolio has declined significantly in
recent months, a period characterized by extreme and unprecedented market
conditions and economic weakness, and has declined by more than 34% since its
inception. As a result, under the terms of the prospectus, RBC is required to
sell portfolio securities and invest the proceeds in cash or cash equivalents
in order to provide additional assurance that the Company’s objective to repay
the $10.00 issue price of the Preferred Shares at maturity will be met and
that the Preferred Shares continue to have a high rating from DBRS. Following
the sale of portfolio securities, the Class A Shares will continue to have
exposure to the portfolio on a non-leveraged basis and distributions on the
Class A Shares will be suspended beginning in December. Should the portfolio
continue to decline in value, the removal of leverage will lessen the impact
of any further decline on the performance of the Class A Shares.
The Company has the ability to re-establish leverage as the portfolio’s
value increases. If the remaining portfolio subsequently appreciates in value
and the net asset value per Class A Share grew to approximately $7.37, RBC
will be instructed to re-invest the cash raised in securities of the portfolio
which will restore leverage on the Class A Shares and likely result in the
resumption of distributions to holders of Class A Shares.

The Caisse clarifies changes made to the management mandate of

CAISSE DE DEPOT ET PLACEMENT DU QUEBEC

: November 20, 2008 16:16

The Caisse clarifies changes made to the management mandate of certain portfolios

MONTREAL, Nov. 20 /CNW Telbec/ - The Caisse de dépôt et placement du
Québec today clarified changes made to the management mandates of the
international equity portfolios managed at the Montréal office by adopting
index-based management rather than active management. This decision affects 10
employees. The change does not affect the other international equity
portfolios, such as those managed externally, nor does it affect any other
Caisse portfolio.
The Caisse stated that the decision was not related to the current
financial crisis or to ABCP and that it was the result of an evaluation begun
several months ago. The returns obtained to date do not justify the greater
effort required for active management as opposed to an index-based approach.
Such a change is in the normal course of business.
The value of the in-house international equity portfolios that will now
be managed on an index basis represents about 9% of the assets managed by the
Equity Markets group and about 2.9% of depositors’ net assets, as at December
31, 2007.

About the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec

The Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec is a financial institution
that manages funds primarily for public and private pension and insurance
plans. As at December 31, 2007, it held $155.4 billion of net assets. One of
the leading institutional fund managers in Canada, the Caisse invests in the
main financial markets as well as in private equity and real estate. For more

business. Its operations are continuing normally under his interim
management,” Mr. Brunet stated.
Mr. Brunet said that the institution’s priorities during this period of
