ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENT

[1]

I have been asked for assistance in settling the terms of my order of
    July 3, 2012 with respect to intervener status. Mr Janes letter of October 18,
    2012 attaches a form or order to which all parties and interveners except Lac
    Seul First Nation, Wabauskang and Big Grassy agree, and indicates that those
    interveners will provide differing language with respect to para. 7 of the
    order.

[2]

The court has subsequently heard from counsel for La Seul who did not
    propose other terms but indicated that he was prepared to leave the matter to my
    discretion or the discretion of the panel hearing the appeal. None of the other
    interveners have proposed different terms.

[3]

The language of para. 7 of Mr. Janes draft, stating that the intervener
    parties and intervener friends of the court shall not be entitled to seek costs
    or be liable for costs of the appeals, corresponds with the usual practice of
    this court. Accordingly, in the absence of any submission that some other order
    should be made, I approve the draft order submitted by Mr. Janes.
