45. (1)

Where the name of a corporation recognized by order to be or no longer to be an approved telecommunications common carrier is added to Schedule I or deleted from that Schedule, as the case may be, any common shares of the company held by approved telecommunications common carriers cease to be outstanding and are cancelled and the capital stock of the company is reduced accordingly.

(2)

The Board shall, forthwith on the cancellation of common shares of the company pursuant to subsection (1), issue a number of common shares, equal to the number of the shares so cancelled, to the approved telecommunications common carriers named in Schedule I after the issuance of the order that resulted in the cancellation, and the capital stock of the company shall be deemed to be increased accordingly.

(3)

Common shares of the company issued under subsection (2) shall be allotted among approved telecommunications common carriers in proportions approved by the Minister after consultation with the approved telecommunications common carriers.

(4)

An approved telecommunications common carrier or a corporation that was an approved telecommunications common carrier whose holdings of common shares of the company are reduced or eliminated pursuant to this section shall be reimbursed therefor, pro rata by the approved telecommunications common carriers whose holdings of common shares of the company are increased pursuant to this section,

(a)

at a rate per share agreed on by it and those approved telecommunications common carriers; or

(b)

in the absence of agreement pursuant to paragraph (a) within thirty days after the issue of shares under subsection (2), at a rate per share equal to what the fair market value of each such share would have been on the day of that issue of the shares if they were shares of the company issued to persons who fulfilled the statutory conditions.

(5)

An amount to which a corporation is entitled as reimbursement under subsection (4) is a debt due to it by each approved telecommunications common carrier, to the extent of its liability therefor as determined in accordance with that subsection, and is recoverable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
