Subject: EB-2007-0905 - Schedule for Rate Base/ Cost of Debt Cross
Examination

The first witness panel to appear at the hearing for payment amounts for
OPG's regulated facilities (EB-2007-0905) is the Rate Base/ Cost of Debt
panel. One of the witnesses on the panel is Colleen Sidford, OPG's
treasurer. After receiving the Procedural Order for the hearing, Ms.
Sidford adjusted her schedule for out-of-town business meetings to allow
her to appear at the hearing on May 20 and May 22. With the change in
the date for the start of the hearing to May 22, Ms. Sidford is now
available for cross examination for only one day, May 22.

Ms. Sidford will be testifying on the cost of debt and will address any
questions regarding OPG's rating agency reports. Any parties that wish
to cross examine Ms. Sidford should plan to undertake their cross
examination on May 22.

To assist in scheduling for the first day of the hearing, please
indicate by reply email how long you expect to be in cross examination
with the Rate Base/ Cost of Debt panel and whether you will have any
questions for (and how long you expect to be with) Ms. Sidford.

Mr. Battista has also asked me to initiate a more general canvas of how
long each intervenor expects to be with each witness panel.
