  (British 
  Columbia) impose restrictions on the transfer, voting and issue of the 
  Class A Voting and Class B Non-Voting shares to ensure that we remain 
  qualified to hold or obtain licences required to carry on certain of our 
  business undertakings in Canada. We are authorized to refuse to 
  register transfers of any of our shares to any person who is not a 
  Canadian in order to ensure that Rogers remains qualified to hold the 
  licences referred to above.

  share capital, share premium and retained earnings of $1 million, nil 
  and $21 million (2012 – $10 million, $243 million and $97 million),
