EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order.)

This Order remits $689,691.86 representing the provincial sales tax liability of M-I Drilling Fluids Canada, Inc. that was mistakenly remitted to the federal government as the goods and services tax (GST) rather than to provincial authorities during the period beginning on March 1, 2004, and ending on April 30, 2010. The Order also remits $26,349.11 interest assessed by the Canada Revenue Agency in respect of that amount. A rebate or credit of the amount under Part IX of the Excise Tax Act is not possible because statutory time limits have expired.
