	OSC: In the Matter of Provigo Inc. and Loblaws Companies Limited - s. 4.5 of MI 52-109 - CVMO: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Provigo is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preference shares, issuable in series.
		Provigo delivered a notice dated July 12, 2004 to the Commission under subsection 13.2(2) of NI 51-102 stating that it intends to rely on the Previous Order and the No-Action Letter to the same extent and on the same conditions as contained therein.
		As Provigo is exempt from the requirements to file interim and annual financial statements pursuant to NI 51-102, and is not required to file interim or annual MDandA or an AIF, it would not be meaningful or relevant for Provigo to file its own Annual Certificates and Interim Certificates.

	Provigo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Provigo is a Quebec-based grocery retailer consisting of over 300 stores and franchises throughout the province.
		Provigo was founded in 1969 by a consortium of four wholesalers under the Couvrette and Provost name, of which they would later change to Provigo in 1970.
		But as they began acquiring other chains in the 1970s and 1980s they decided to consolidated them into one name, so all of the stores, including those they would later acquire, were renamed Provigo in 1979.

		Provigo is a reporting issuer under the Securities Act and contends that the provision of the guarantee by Loblaw is in the best interest of its debenture holders.
		Provigo contends that the public interest, in this case, is the interest of the current and future debenture holders.
		Stated somewhat differently, Provigo submits that there can be little doubt that the granting of the guarantee by Loblaw in exchange for an exemption to Provigo from the continuous disclosure requirements is not prejudicial to the public interest as it is clearly in the interest of the debenture holders, being the public for this purpose.

		Fleisher also alleges that for six weeks after he stopped his relationship with the company, Loblaws continued to say in newspaper advertisements that it was selling Kosher Cravings products at these two stores.
		Provigo then sent a letter to Fleisher “admitting the mislabelling and false advertising practice,” the suit states, quoting the last paragraph: “Howard, please keep in mind that we were the first to give Kosher Cravings an opportunity to sell to our stores and to that effect we still want to do business with your company.”
		Fleisher noted that his products are peanut-free and alleges he might have been liable if the products actually being sold did not contain the ingredients listed and a consumer was endangered because of allergies.

		While we enjoy the proximity of the Metro to the ICRM, the Monkland Village Provigo's selection of President's Choice "Memories Of.." and "Too Good To Be True" products is a trump card Metro simply isn't able to match.

		The poor performance is attributed to the company’s Provigo and Agora acquisitions in 1998, which are having a negative impact on earnings: in the first nine months of 1999, revenues were up 63%, but earnings were up only 39%.
		Excluding Provigo and Agora, revenue growth this year has been in the high single digits.
		Another factor depressing the stock is the lengthy review by the Competition Bureau, which in August told Loblaw that it had to divest another twelve stores in addition to the 41 stores previously owned by Provigo that it has already sold.
