<div><b>Page Content:</b> <p>Canadian Pacific (NYSE,TSX: CP) announced today that it has been ordered by the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) to interchange traffic with the Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway (MM&A) company effective immediately.</p>
<p>On August 13, 2013, CP issued an embargo regulating the interchange of all traffic to and from the MM&A.* This was in response to the same-day decision by the CTA to withdraw MM&A's certificate of fitness.* The CTA’s decision suspended MM&A's ability to operate a railway.</p>
<p>The CTA modified its decision on August 16, 2013 to permit MM&A to continue to operate until October 1, 2013, conditional upon MM&A proving adequate insurance.</p>
<p>CP expressed its concerns regarding the fitness of MM&A to safely handle hazardous substances, including the crude oil currently under investigation in the Lac Megantic derailment.* The CTA dismissed CP’s arguments and ordered CP to lift the embargo.</p>
<p>"While we disagree with this order, we have taken immediate steps to comply,” said E. Hunter Harrison, Canadian Pacific Chief Executive Officer.* “The CTA, as federal regulator, has satisfied itself that MM&A is fit to operate and has adequate insurance to do so.* We will review our legal options.”</p>
