ENBRIDGE INC.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

GENERAL INFORMATION

     This Management Information Circular (the “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the management of Enbridge Inc. (“Enbridge” or the “Corporation”) and its Board of Directors (the “Board”). The accompanying form of proxy (“Proxy Form”) is for use at the Annual and Special Meeting of the holders of common shares (the “Enbridge Shares”) of Enbridge (the “Shareholders”) to be held on Wednesday, May 7, 2003 and at any adjournment thereof (the “Meeting”).

     All dollar amounts set forth in this Circular are in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

     Management anticipates that this Circular and the accompanying Proxy Form will be mailed to the Shareholders on or about March 28, 2003. Unless otherwise stated, information contained in this Circular is given as at March 4, 2003. The principal executive and registered office of the Corporation is located at Suite 3000, 425 – 1st Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3L8, and the Corporation’s telephone number is (403) 231-3900. The solicitation will be primarily by mail but proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by employees of the Corporation (see “Solicitation of Proxies”).

SHARE CAPITAL AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

     The authorized share capital of Enbridge consists of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of non-voting preference shares, issuable in series. As at March 4, 2003, Enbridge had issued and outstanding 169,930,975 Enbridge Shares held by approximately 7,376 holders of record. Each Enbridge Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote at the Meeting. Holders of record of Enbridge Shares at the close of business on Friday, March 21, 2003 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting (see “Proxy Voting Options”).

     There is no single holder known to the Corporation who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or who exercises control or direction over, in excess of 10% of the outstanding Enbridge Shares. Noverco Inc. and its affiliates own in the aggregate 16,602,400 Enbridge Shares, representing approximately 9.8% of the issued and outstanding Enbridge Shares. Pursuant to a Share and Warrant Subscription Agreement dated August 27, 1997 among Noverco Inc., Gaz Métropolitain, Inc. and the Corporation, the Corporation agreed to use its best efforts to facilitate the maintenance of Noverco Inc.’s aggregate ownership interest in the Corporation at approximately 10% by permitting Noverco Inc. to participate in any future offerings of Enbridge Shares.

Notes:    
 
(1)   “Year First Became a Director” refers to the year the person named was elected or appointed as a Director of the Corporation or of its predecessor parent, Interprovincial Pipe Line Inc.
 
(2)   Each Director and Officer has advised that he or she has sole voting and investment power as to Enbridge Shares beneficially owned. Information as to shares beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, not being within the knowledge of Enbridge, has been furnished by respective persons individually.

     Each of the persons named in the above table was elected a Director of the Corporation by a vote of Shareholders at the annual meeting held on May 3, 2002. There is no family relationship between any of the current Directors or the individuals proposed to be nominated for election as Directors of Enbridge.

     A Share and Warrant Agreement dated August 27, 1997 among Noverco Inc., Gaz Métropolitain, Inc. and the Corporation sets forth terms by which Noverco Inc. will acquire and maintain an ownership interest in the Corporation and also contains terms regarding the composition of the Board. With respect to composition of the

3


Table of Contents

Board, the parties agreed that so long as Noverco Inc. or its subsidiaries remain the registered and beneficial owners of an aggregate of at least 8% of the outstanding Enbridge Shares on an annual basis, management and Directors of the Corporation shall nominate and support the election to the Board of at least one individual, and possibly more in proportion to the percentage of outstanding Enbridge Shares owned by Noverco Inc. to all Enbridge Shares outstanding. Mr. Gourdeau is the individual representing Noverco Inc. by such right of nomination.

     Unless specified in a Proxy Form or by telephone or internet voting instruction that the Enbridge Shares represented by the proxy shall be withheld from voting for the election of one or more Directors, it is the intention of the persons designated in the enclosed Proxy Form to vote FOR the election of the proposed nominees listed, all of whom are now Directors of Enbridge.

     In the event that any vacancies occur in the slate of management nominees, the discretionary authority conferred by the proxies appointing the nominees designated in the enclosed Proxy Form will be exercised to vote the Enbridge Shares represented by such proxies for the election of any other person or persons nominated by management of the Corporation. The Corporation has no reason to anticipate any such occurrence.

REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS

     Directors’ fees are paid to Directors who are not Officers of the Corporation, as well as to the Chair of the Board, who is a non-executive Officer.

     Effective January 1, 2002, Directors were remunerated on the basis of the following criteria. For membership on the Board and on Committees of the Board, Directors were paid retainer and meeting fees. The annual Board retainer was $30,000 for each Director, consisting, at each individual’s election, of all or designated portions of:

  (i)   cash;
  (ii)   the stock equivalent of cash in Enbridge Shares (valued on the basis of the weighted average of the trading price for one Enbridge Share on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of payment) (herein called the “Stock Equivalent”);
  (iii)   the equivalent value of cash in options (subject to a value determination (at least annually), using a Black-Scholes multiple, by the Human Resources & Compensation Committee of the Board); and/or
  (iv)   the equivalent value of cash in deferred stock units (calculated by dividing the value of cash compensation payable to a Director in deferred stock units on the date of payment of compensation by the Stock Equivalent).

     A Director’s election in respect of the foregoing was for 25, 50, 75 or 100% of the elected form of remuneration, totaling 100% of the retainer.

     The annual Committee membership retainer consisted of the Stock Equivalent of $3,000. The Chair of each Committee was paid an annual retainer of $3,500 cash, other than the Chair of the Audit, Finance & Risk Committee who was paid an annual retainer of $5,000 cash. Board and Committee meeting fees were $1,500 cash per meeting. Payment of a travel fee of $1,500 per meeting was made to a Director who traveled out of the Director’s principal Province or State of residence to attend a Board or Committee meeting. Directors with non-Canadian principal residency were paid the designated retainers and fees in U.S. dollars (or equivalent). Directors are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred to attend a Board or Committee meeting.

     The Chair of the Board was paid an additional Chair annual retainer of $125,000 consisting, at the election of the Chair, of one or more of the four electives available to Directors with respect to the payment of Directors’ annual retainers (as referred to above).

     The Board has discretion to determine annually the guidelines setting forth the voluntary level of Enbridge Share ownership by each Director (in 2002, the level was six times the annual retainer (i.e., $180,000) to be achieved over a period of time) (the “Target Level”). In order to assist each Director reach and maintain the Target Level, the Corporation provides an annual retention stock bonus grant (the “Share Retention Bonus” or “SRB”) to each Director of one Enbridge Share for each five Enbridge Shares held by the Director for a minimum period of one year. The SRB is not payable on Enbridge Shares held by a Director in excess of the Target Level. Directors

Table of Contents

who are also executive officers (other than the Chair of the Board who is a non-executive officer) are not eligible to receive the SRB, nor do they otherwise participate in the Directors’ Compensation Plan.

     The purpose of the Director compensation system, as recommended by external independent consultants, is to provide a compensation plan for Directors of the Corporation which reflects the responsibilities, commitments and risks accompanying Board membership in a manner which is consistent with and which will advance the interests of the Corporation and the total return to Shareholders.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

     The Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), upon which the Enbridge Shares are listed, requires every listed corporation to disclose its approach to corporate governance on an annual basis. The disclosure must make specific reference to each of the TSX’s corporate governance guidelines (the “Guidelines”) and, where the approach is different from any of those Guidelines or where the Guidelines do not apply, must explain the differences or their inapplicability. The Corporation’s corporate governance practices, which the Board believes are in full alignment with the Guidelines, are summarized in Appendix “B”.

     Enbridge Shares are also listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). As a foreign private issuer on the NYSE, the Corporation has been permitted to comply with Canadian governance standards in lieu of NYSE corporate governance rules applicable to United States listed corporations. The United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (enacted and in effect on July 29, 2002) will require the adoption of additional rules affecting governance which may include new NYSE rules that will apply to the Corporation.

     The Corporation anticipates that Canadian and United States securities regulatory authorities will in the future establish new or additional corporate governance standards that will be applicable to the Corporation. The Corporation intends to fully comply with all such requirements.

     Set out below is a description of the Corporation’s general approach to corporate governance.

GENERAL APPROACH TO CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

     The Governance Committee of the Board (the “Governance Committee”) has a focus on the structure and processes of Corporate Governance at Enbridge. The objective of the Governance Committee is to seek assurance that a comprehensive system of stewardship and accountability to Shareholders is in place and functioning among Directors, management and employees of the Corporation.

Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer

     The Board has plenary power from Shareholders to manage, or supervise the management of, the business and affairs of the Corporation. The Board is responsible for the overall stewardship of the Corporation and, in discharging that responsibility, reviews, approves and provides guidance in respect of the strategic plan of the Corporation and reviews the progress of strategic planning as it occurs. The Board also oversees identification of the principal risks to the Corporation on an annual basis and monitors the Corporation’s risk management programs, the implementation of succession planning, and seeks assurance that internal control systems and management information systems are in place and operating effectively.

     The Governance Committee defines and recommends to the Board the role of the Board, the roles of Committees of the Board, and the general division of duties as between the Board and the Chief Executive Officer. The Governance Committee has developed a mandate statement for the Board as a whole which has been adopted by the Board. Descriptions of specific Board responsibilities are set forth in the by-laws of the Corporation, in the mandates of the Committees of the Board, and more generally in the Canada Business Corporations Act.

     The board guidelines of the Corporation and the Corporation’s strategic plan constitute a mandate for the Chief Executive Officer. This mandate includes the goal to maximize shareholder value. In addition, the Board has established specific terms of reference and a review process for the Chief Executive Officer. The Governance Committee and the Human Resources & Compensation Committee approve the Chief Executive Officer’s objectives on an annual basis. These objectives are reviewed by the Board from time to time.

Table of Contents

Committees of the Board of Directors

     The Board currently has four standing Committees. Through these Committees, the Board oversees identification of the principal risks to the Corporation and authorizes implementation of the systems for managing those risks.

Notes:    
 
(1)   In 2000 and 2001, a portion of the amount awarded to certain of the Named Executive Officers under the Short-Term Incentive Plan was designated for the purchase of Enbridge Shares at market value. These shares are referred to as “Restricted Shares” as the sale or transfer of these shares is restricted for a one-year period, in the case of Restricted Shares relating to 2001, and a three-year period, in the case of Restricted Shares relating to 2000. The purchase price of the Restricted Shares in 2000 and 2001 were $38.25 and $43.34, respectively. For 2001, the portion of the Short-Term Incentive Plan award that was designated for the purchase of Restricted Shares was $100,000 for Mr. Letwin, US$50,000 for Mr. Tutcher, $75,000 for Mr. Bird and $50,000 for Mr. Truswell. For 2000, the portion of the Short-Term Incentive Plan award that was designated for the purchase of Restricted Shares was $99,832 for Mr. Daniel, $57,719 for Mr. Letwin, $59,288 for Mr. Bird and $55,654 for Mr. Truswell. See “Report on Executive Compensation — Annual Incentive Awards — Annual Short-Term Incentive Plan”.
 
(2)   Amounts in this column include: the flexible perquisites allowance (as described in Note 3 below), flexible credits paid as additional compensation (as described in Note 3 below), reimbursements for professional financial services and the taxable benefit from loans by the Corporation, which were granted for relocation or hiring incentive purposes (and amounts reimbursed for the payment of taxes relating to such benefit).

(3)   In fiscal 2002, the Named Executive Officers were given a Flexible Perquisites Allowance to pay for perquisites that may have been previously paid by the Corporation on behalf of each executive. Effective July 1, 2001, the Corporation adopted a flexible benefit program where employees receive an amount of flex credits based on their family status and base salary. Flex credits can be used to (a) purchase various benefits (such as extended health or dental coverage, disability insurance and life insurance) on the same terms as are available to all employees; (b) applied as contributions to the Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (as described in Note 7 below); or (c) paid to the employee as additional compensation. In 2002, Mr. Daniel received perquisites and other personal benefits totaling $62,133, of which $49,500 related to his Flexible Perquisites Allowance; Mr. Tutcher received perquisites and other personal benefits totaling US$40,000, of which US$35,000 related to his Flexible Perquisites Allowance; Mr. Truswell received perquisites and other personal benefits totaling $38,777, of which $35,000 related to his Flexible Perquisites Allowance; Mr. Letwin received perquisites and other personal benefits totaling $40,771, of which $35,000 related to his Flexible Perquisites Allowance; and Mr. Bird received perquisites and other personal benefits totaling $36,374, of which $35,000 related to his Flexible Perquisites Allowance.
 
(4)   Each option entitles the holder to acquire the indicated number of Enbridge Shares. Particulars of the stock options are provided under the heading “Stock Options”.
 
(5)   For options granted during the period November 4, 1996 to July 10, 1997, to the extent dividends were paid on Enbridge Shares during the term of those unexercised options, the holders of such options were awarded Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). All of the RSUs matured on December 31, 2000. A number of Enbridge Shares equivalent to one-half of the number of RSUs maturing were issued to the Named Executive Officers. Particulars of the stock options and RSUs are provided under the heading “Report on Executive Compensation — Annual Incentive Awards — Annual Long-Term Incentives”.
 
(6)   The Corporation’s long-term incentive plan is a stock option plan that is reported in the column Long-Term Compensation — Awards — Securities Under Options/SARs Granted. Stock option plans are excluded from the definition of “LTIP”, consequently the value realized from exercising options is not reported in this column. See “Stock Options – Aggregated Options/SAR Exercises During the Most Recently Completed Financial Year and Financial Year-End Option/SAR Values”. The Corporation has no other LTIP program.
 
(7)   Until July 1, 2001, the Corporation made contributions under the Stock Purchase and Savings Plan, a plan to which employees of Enbridge may contribute from 2% to 30% of their base salary, with employee contributions up to 5% matched (depending upon years of service) by the Corporation. Enbridge contributions were used to purchase Enbridge Shares at market value and, in respect of employee contributions, employees were permitted to select from among 15 designated funds or Enbridge Shares. Effective July 1, 2001, the Corporation implemented a new Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”). Under the Savings Plan, Canadian employees of Enbridge may contribute from 1% to 35% of their base salary for investment in among 15 designated funds or Enbridge Shares. The first 2.5% of an employee’s base salary contributed to the Savings Plan must be used to purchase Enbridge Shares at market value. Employees who participate in the Savings Plan can receive up to 2.5% of their base salary in flex credits based on their years of service and the amount of their contributions to the Savings Plan. The amount of flex credits applied as contributions to the Savings Plan (as described in Note 3) by the Named Executive Officers under the Corporation’s flexible benefit program is reported in the table.
 
(8)   Employees of the Corporation in the United States participate in the Enbridge (U.S.) Inc. Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) where employees may contribute up to 25% of their base salary, with employee contributions up to 5% matched by the Corporation (all subject to the contribution limits specified in the Internal Revenue Code). The Corporation’s contributions are used to purchase Enbridge Shares at market value and the employee’s contributions may be used to purchase Enbridge Shares or nine designated funds. During 2001 and 2002, the Corporation made contributions of US$8,806 and US$11,625, respectively, to the 401(k) Plan for the benefit of Mr. Tutcher.
 
(9)   Mr. Tutcher joined the Corporation subsequent to the closing of the Corporation’s acquisition of Midcoast Energy Resources, Inc. on May 11, 2001. Mr. Tutcher’s compensation is stated and paid in U.S. currency (“US$”).
 
(10)   Amount includes a cash signing incentive of US$285,000, which was paid to Mr. Tutcher pursuant to an employment agreement with the Corporation dated May 11, 2001.
 
(11)   Amount includes relocation subsidies of $41,289 (2002) and $89,500 (2001).

REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     The Corporation’s executive compensation program is administered by the Committee. As part of its mandate, the Committee approves the appointment and remuneration of the Corporation’s Senior Officers, including the Named Executive Officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table. The Committee is also responsible for reviewing the Corporation’s compensation policies and guidelines generally. The Committee met six times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. It is the objective of the Committee to ensure that the compensation of senior executives is sufficiently competitive to attract and retain highly qualified executives and to link incentive compensation to performance and shareholder value. The executive compensation program of the Corporation is comprised of three major components: base salaries, a short-term incentive plan and a long-term incentive plan.

     In determining the remuneration of Senior Officers of the Corporation, the Committee makes use of formal assessments, market comparisons and advice from independent external compensation consultants. Competitive compensation data for a comparator group comprised of 22 large Canadian companies is referenced. These organizations are of similar size and complexity to the Corporation and are representative of the types of organizations with which the Corporation must compete for its Senior Officers. Total compensation levels are set at the median of the comparator group to reflect the competitive level of the market place as well as the responsibility level of each position.

     The Committee places considerable emphasis on performance-based remuneration and gives consideration to the Corporation’s long-term interests, actual performance achievements (as measured against pre-established corporate, business unit and individual goals) as well as qualitative aspects of the individual performance and achievements of its Senior Officers, as demonstrated by leadership ability, major project responsibility and contributions to the Corporation’s industry and community development activities. If the corporate, business unit and individual Senior Officer performance targets are exceeded, it is intended that Senior Officer total compensation levels be competitive with the total compensation levels of other top performing executives within the comparator group.

Base Salaries

     Base salaries for Senior Officers are paid based on competitive market data for similar roles and levels of responsibility within the comparator group. Salary levels for the Named Executive Officers are determined through annual compensation surveys of the Corporation’s comparator group. Individual salaries for the Named Executive Officers are reviewed annually based on corporate and personal performance and on individual levels of responsibility.

     The Committee submits for the approval of the Board its recommendation as to the salary of the President & Chief Executive Officer. The Committee considers and, if thought fit, approves salaries recommended by the President & Chief Executive Officer for the other Senior Officers of the Corporation.

Annual Incentive Awards

     Annual Short-Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”)

     Through the Corporation’s Short-Term Incentive Plan, a substantial portion of senior management’s annual compensation is linked to the achievement of pre-defined corporate performance, business unit performance and individual performance objectives. For 2002, all of the Named Executive Officers had corporate performance measures that included return on equity in 2002 and total shareholder return (share price appreciation and dividends paid) over a three-year period relative to the comparator group. Corporate performance and business unit earnings measures are established and reviewed annually by the Committee.

     Target incentive payments based on each participant’s level of responsibility within the Corporation are established as a percentage of base salary and reflect competitive practice within the comparator group. If certain performance levels are achieved, incentive awards are payable and are intended to provide incentive amounts that are competitive with incentives that would be paid to other executives within the comparator group in similar circumstances. For example, if the Corporation’s performance was in the top quartile of the comparator group, the Corporation would expect to pay incentive awards in the top quartile of the comparator group. Awards under the STIP are paid in cash or other equivalent consideration, including Restricted Shares, which formed a portion of the awards paid for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000. Restricted Shares are Enbridge

9


Table of Contents

Shares that have been purchased at market value utilizing a designated portion of the STIP award. Restricted Shares result in the recipient taking a stronger ownership position in the Corporation as they cannot be sold or transferred for a specified period of time.

     The STIP provides for the payment of incentive awards that may be below or in excess of target awards. No incentives are payable if threshold performance levels are not attained. Senior Officers could receive up to 100% (150% in the case of the President & Chief Executive Officer) of base salaries when outstanding performance results are achieved. The factor by which incentive awards are calculated is prorated between the threshold, target and maximum award depending on actual performance under each of the performance measures. In administering the STIP, the Committee may, in its judgment, vary incentive awards payable to participants if the application of the incentive formula confers unintended results. The STIP award for the President & Chief Executive Officer is recommended by the Committee for approval by the Board while awards for the other Named Executive Officers are considered and, if thought fit, approved by the Committee on the recommendation of the President & Chief Executive Officer.

     In 2002, awards under the Corporation’s STIP were determined by the Committee on the basis of a combination of: (1) the actual return on equity being below the targeted return on equity threshold level; (2) average total shareholder return of 18.2% for the three year period ended December 31, 2002, being in the second quartile (51st – 75th percentile) relative to the comparator group; (3) business unit performance measures, where applicable, ranging between missing threshold budgeted earnings to exceptional performance; and (4) individual performance measures as assessed by the President & Chief Executive Officer and, in the case of the President & Chief Executive Officer, by the Committee. In the opinion of the Committee, STIP payments reflected corporate performance, business unit performance and the individual contributions of the Named Executive Officers in 2002.

     Annual Long-Term Incentives

     The Incentive Stock Option Plan (2002) (the “ISOP”) provides participating executives with the opportunity to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Corporation, in a manner consistent with advancing the interests of the Corporation, by motivating and rewarding such executives in relation to the Corporation’s long-term performance, growth and total shareholder return.

     Under prior plans, in conjunction with a grant of stock options, participating executives during the period November 4, 1996 to July 10, 1997 were granted Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), in recognition that the payment of dividends is included in total shareholder return. RSUs, expressed in shares, were the common share equivalent of the amount of dividends that would have been paid on the total number of shares the executive held as unexercised options pursuant to the ISOP and the total number of RSUs standing to the credit of the executive as at the record date for payment of such dividends. The Corporation has not granted any RSUs since July 10, 1997. All of the RSUs matured on December 31, 2000. A number of Enbridge Shares equivalent to one-half of the number of RSUs maturing were issued to the Named Executive Officers.

     Although the ISOP also provides that stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) may be granted in connection with an option, the Corporation has not granted SARs since November 3, 1994.

     Stock Option Plan

     Generally, awards of stock options (as a long-term incentive) are considered annually by the Committee on the recommendation of the President & Chief Executive Officer and by the Committee alone concerning the President & Chief Executive Officer. Each stock option awarded entitles the recipient to acquire a specified number of Enbridge Shares at an exercise price not less than 100% of the last sale price of the Enbridge Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the trading day prior to the date of the grant. In the event that an option is awarded at a time when a trading blackout is in effect, the effective date of the stock option shall be no earlier than the fourth trading day following the date of termination of the trading blackout and the exercise price shall be no less than the weighted average trading price of Enbridge Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the three days immediately prior to the effective date of the stock option. In connection with the determination of the number of stock options that may be granted, the Committee further considers a target ratio of the current Enbridge Share price to base salary as well as considering individual performance achievements and succession potential.

Table of Contents

     During 2002, stock options to acquire 1,024,400 Enbridge Shares (excluding the performance-based stock options discussed below) at prices between $43.70 and $47.71 per share were awarded to 243 eligible employees, including the Named Executive Officers.

     For additional information on the outstanding stock options, including the cost of the stock options to the Corporation, please see Note 11 to the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, which are contained in the Corporation’s 2002 Annual Report.

     Performance-Based Options

     In order to provide further long-term incentives to participating executives and to align their interests with those of Shareholders, a special performance-based stock option to acquire an aggregate of 810,000 Enbridge Shares at $46.30 per share was awarded to eligible employees, including the Named Executive Officers, on September 16, 2002 for a five year term, which term will extend to eight years if any of the options become exercisable before the end of the five-year term. The performance-based stock options become exercisable, as to 50% of the grant, if the price of Enbridge Shares exceeds $61.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days during the period September 16, 2002 to September 16, 2007 and, as to 100% of the grant, if the price of Enbridge Shares exceeds $71.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days during the same aforementioned period.

     For additional information on the outstanding performance-based stock options, please see Note 11 to the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, which are contained in the Corporation’s 2002 Annual Report.

Share Ownership Guidelines

     On January 1, 2002, the Corporation implemented share ownership guidelines for Senior Officers requiring them to attain target levels of ownership by December 31, 2006. The President and Chief Executive Officer is required to own common shares of the Corporation with a value equal to three times his annual salary. Other Senior Officers are required to own common shares of the Corporation with a value of two times their annual salary. Officers at the Vice President level are required to own common shares of the Corporation with a value equal to their annual salary. These guidelines apply to any individuals subsequently hired or appointed to assume such positions, provided that such individuals will have a period of five years from their date of hiring or appointment to attain the applicable target level of share ownership.

     As of December 31, 2002, the President and Chief Executive Officer’s level of share ownership was 6.8 times his annual salary; other Senior Officers averaged 9.6 times their annual salaries; and Officers at the Vice President level averaged 0.9 times their annual salaries.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer

     Mr. Daniel’s base salary is determined through annual compensation surveys of the Corporation’s comparator group and is reviewed annually based on corporate and personal performance. The Board determines Mr. Daniel’s annual bonus award based on three factors (the weight ascribed to each factor is noted below): (1) the assessment of the Corporation’s annual return on equity compared to budgeted return on equity (40%); (2) average total shareholder return over a three year period compared to industry competitors (40%); and (3) the Committee’s evaluation of Mr. Daniel’s performance in relation to annual objectives agreed to in advance (20%). Based on these factors, the Board approved the award to Mr. Daniel of a cash bonus of $335,500 for 2002. For the LTIP component of 2002 compensation, an award of stock options to purchase 60,000 Enbridge Shares at a price of $43.70 per share and performance options to purchase 300,000 Enbridge Shares at a price of $46.30 per share were granted to Mr. Daniel. Based on competitive market data, this grant is within the competitive range of long-term incentive grants for chief executive officers in the Corporation’s comparator group.

Each contract provides that should the Named Executive Officer experience involuntary termination of employment for any reason (other than cause), elect to terminate their employment within 60 days of the first anniversary of the occurrence of a “change of control” of the Corporation (as defined in the agreements) or elect to terminate their employment within 60 days following constructive dismissal, subject to the terms of the contract, the executive will be paid 200% of the sum of: (i) twelve times the gross monthly salary paid to the executive in the last full month of employment; (ii) the average of the last two years of the STIP awards paid to the executive; and (iii) the cash value of the last annual flex credit allowance and flexible perquisite allowance provided to the executive; plus an amount equal to the value of the STIP award to be paid for the calendar year in which termination occurs, pro rated based upon the number of days of employment of the executive in such year. For these purposes, unless consented to by the executive, “constructive dismissal” is deemed to occur when the executive ceases to be an Officer of the Corporation or an Officer of a successor to a material portion of the assets of the Corporation; incurs a material decrease in title, position, responsibility, powers or reporting relationships; incurs a reduction in annual salary, excluding bonuses; or incurs a material reduction in the value of the executive’s employee benefits, plans and programs.

     The President & Chief Executive Officer has entered into an employment contract on identical terms to those described above, except that he is entitled to 300% rather than 200% of the amounts noted above.

STOCK OPTIONS

     The two tables which follow set forth information concerning options granted under the Incentive Stock Option Plan (2002) relating to the Named Executive Officers during the financial year ended December 31, 2002.

Notes:    
 
(1)   The options issued at $43.70 per share noted above were granted on February 5, 2002. Each option becomes exercisable as to the first 25% after one year from the date of grant, as to the second 25% after two years from the date of the grant, as to the third 25% after three years from the date of the grant and as to the final 25% after four years from the date of the grant.
 
(2)   Represents a special performance-based stock option to acquire Enbridge Shares at a price of $46.30 per share. These options become exercisable, as to 50% of the grant, if the price of Enbridge Shares exceeds $61.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days during the five year period ended September 16, 2007 (the “Mid-Term Exercise Condition”) and, as to 100% of the grant, if the price of Enbridge Shares exceeds $71.00 per share for the 20 consecutive trading days during the same aforementioned period. In the event that the Mid-Term Exercise Condition is satisfied, the expiry date of the stock options will be extended by three years to September 16, 2010.
 
(3)   Although the closing price of the Enbridge Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the date immediately preceding the date of grant was $45.28, these stock options were granted with an exercise price of $46.30, which was based on the issue price for a public offering of Enbridge Shares that closed on September 4, 2002.
 
(4)   These options were granted on September 16, 2002 and become exercisable, as to 100% of the grant, on the date of Mr. Truswell’s retirement.

Notes:    
 
(1)   Options issued in financial years 1993 through 2002 and not exercised on or before December 31, 2002, in respect of indicated numbers of Enbridge Shares.
 
(2)   Based on the difference between the closing price of the Enbridge Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on December 31, 2002 ($42.61) and the exercise or base price of unexercised options to acquire Enbridge Shares multiplied by the number of Enbridge Shares under option. This value has not been realized, and may never be realized. The actual gains on exercise, if any, will depend on the value of the Enbridge Shares on the date of exercise.

PENSION PLAN

     The following tables illustrate the benefits payable under the defined benefit component of the Corporation’s trusteed non-contributory pension plans (the “Plan”), which apply to the Corporation’s Corporate and Transportation units and include the Named Executive Officers. The tables illustrate the total annual pension entitlements assuming the eligibility requirements for an unreduced pension have been satisfied. Plan benefits that exceed maximum

13


Table of Contents

pension rules applicable to registered plan benefits are paid from the Corporation’s supplemental pension plan. Other trusteed pension plans, with varying contribution formulae and benefits, cover the balance of Canadian and United States employees.

     For service prior to January 1, 2000, the Plan provides a yearly pension payable after age 60 in the normal form (60% joint and last survivor) equal to (a) 1.6% of the sum of (i) the average of the participant’s highest annual salary during three consecutive years out of the last ten years of credited service and (ii) the average of the participant’s three highest annual performance bonus periods, represented in each period by 50% of the actual bonus paid, in respect of the last five years of credited service, multiplied by (b) the number of credited years of service. This pension is offset, after age 60, by 50% of the participant’s Canada Pension Plan (“CPP”) benefit prorated by years in which the participant has both credited service and CPP coverage. In Mr. Tutcher’s case, the pension offset is the Social Security offset in the U.S. under the qualified plan. An unreduced pension is payable if retirement is after age 55 with 30 or more years of service, or after age 60. Early retirement reductions apply if a participant retires and does not meet these requirements.

     For service after December 31, 1999, the Plan provides for senior management employees (including the Named Executive Officers) a yearly pension payable after age 60 in the normal form (60% joint and last survivor) equal to (a) 2% of the sum of (i) the average of the participant’s highest annual base salary during three consecutive years out of the last ten years of credited service and (ii) the average of the participant’s three highest annual performance bonus periods, represented in each period by 50% of the actual bonus paid, in respect of the last five years of credited service, multiplied by (b) the number of credited years of service. An unreduced pension is payable if retirement is after age 55 with 30 or more years of service, or after age 60. Early retirement reductions apply if a participant retires and does not meet these requirements. Retirement benefits paid from the Plan are indexed at 50% of the annual increase in the consumer price index.

     For additional information on post-employment benefits, including funded status and pension assets and liabilities, see Note 14 to the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, which are contained in the Corporation’s 2002 Annual Report.

Note:    
 
(1)   “Remuneration” refers to annual salary and that portion of the annual bonus eligible for inclusion in final average earnings.

     In addition, Mr. Bird accumulated pension credits equal to 2.0% for each year of service from his date of employment until January 1, 2000 and 3.26% for each year of service thereafter to his sixtieth birthday. Mr. Letwin was granted six additional years of credited service on his employment date based on the pension formula applicable for service prior to January 1, 2000. From 2001 through 2006 (inclusive), Mr. Daniel accrues two years of credited service for each year of service with the Corporation and was granted thirteen additional months of credited service with a former associate company based on the pension formula applicable for service prior to January 1, 2000. Mr. Tutcher accumulates pension credits equal to 4.0% for each year of service to his tenth anniversary of employment with the Corporation.

     For purposes of computing the total retirement benefit of the Named Executive Officers under the Registered Pension Plan (the “RPP”) and the Senior Management Pension Plan (the “SMPP”), credited service as of December 31, 2002 was 16.67 years under the RPP and the equivalent of 5.87 years under the SMPP for Mr. Daniel (age 56); 0.75 years under the RPP and the equivalent of 7.80 years under the SMPP for Mr. Letwin (age 47); 31.25 years under the RPP and 3.0 years under the SMPP for Mr. Truswell (age 59); 4.92 years under the RPP and the equivalent of 5.88 years under the SMPP for Mr. Bird (age 53); and the equivalent of 3.16 years under the SMPP for Mr. Tutcher (age 53).

INTEREST OF INSIDERS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

     Except as otherwise set out in this Circular, no insider or proposed nominee for election as a Director, and no associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons, has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction during the 2002 fiscal year or in any proposed transaction which in either such case has materially affected or will materially affect the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND SENIOR OFFICERS

     The Corporation is subject to the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including prohibitions on new or revised extensions of credit by the Corporation to Directors and Officers.

     Except as outlined below, no current or former Director or Officer of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, and no associate of any such person, was indebted to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries at any time since January 1, 2002, other than routine indebtedness, which is permitted under applicable Canadian securities laws. Routine indebtedness to the Corporation consists solely of relocation or hiring incentive loans advanced to certain Officers arising on their transfer of business location or hiring. Since July 29, 2002, when the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted, no new relocation or hiring incentive loans or any other forms of indebtedness have been granted, renewed or extended to Directors or Officers.

     From January 1 to February 6, 2002, an interest free loan in the amount of $50,000 was outstanding to L.D. Hyndman, a Director of the Corporation. The loan was advanced in 1997 under the provision of the Directors’ Compensation Plan to facilitate the purchase of Enbridge Shares. The interest free loan feature of the Directors’ Compensation Plan has been discontinued. The loan was repaid in full by L.D. Hyndman on February 8, 2002.

LIABILITY INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     The Corporation maintains insurance for the benefit of its Directors and Officers and the Directors and Officers of its subsidiaries, as a group, in respect of the performance by them of the duties of their offices. The total amount of insurance coverage available is approximately US $100,000,000, with a US $1,000,000 deductible for each claim for which the Corporation grants indemnification. The insurance premium for the policy period from September 30, 2002 to September 30, 2003, paid by the Corporation, was US $263,653.

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

     PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (or a predecessor firm, Price Waterhouse) (“PwC”) have been the auditors of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Enbridge Pipelines Inc., since 1992 and 1949, respectively. PwC’s address is Suite 3100, 111 — 5th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 5L3.

15


Table of Contents

     Unless specified in a Proxy Form or by telephone or internet voting instruction that the Enbridge Shares represented by the proxy shall be withheld from voting for the appointment of auditors, it is the intention of the persons designated in the enclosed Proxy Form to vote FOR the re-appointment of PwC as auditors of the Corporation to hold office until the close of the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board. PwC will be appointed if a majority of votes cast by Shareholders present or represented by proxy at the Meeting vote in favour of the resolution. Representatives of PwC are expected to be present at the Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

     The Corporation anticipates that Canadian and United States securities regulatory authorities will make rules applicable to the Corporation which will require certain practices and disclosure to enhance the transparency of the independence of auditors.

Auditor Independence

     The Corporation understands that auditor independence is an essential element to maintaining the integrity of its financial statements. The Corporation’s Audit, Finance & Risk Committee has responsibility to oversee the external auditor. For a description of the Corporation’s Audit, Finance & Risk Committee, see “General Approach to Corporate Governance – Committees of the Board of Directors: Audit, Finance & Risk Committee” on page 6.

     The Corporation anticipates that Canadian securities regulators and the Toronto Stock Exchange will make rules applicable to the Corporation in future years which will address the independence of the external auditor, the services for which they may be engaged and the disclosure of fees paid to them. The Corporation is also subject to the provisions of the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which introduced a series of accounting and corporate governance reforms. Under certain of these provisions, which will come into effect on May 6, 2003, the external auditors may not provide the following services:

    bookkeeping or other services related to accounting records or financial statements;
 
    financial information systems design and implementation;
 
    appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports;
 
    actuarial services;
 
    internal audit outsourcing services;
 
    management functions or human resources;
 
    broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services;
 
    legal services; and
 
    expert services unrelated to the audit.

The Corporation will comply with all such applicable rules in Canada and in the United States.

     In response to these changes and other pending legislative and regulatory changes regarding auditor independence, on February 23, 2003, the Corporation’s Audit, Finance & Risk Committee adopted a policy that requires approval by the Audit, Finance & Risk Committee of any services to be provided by the auditors, whether audit or non-audit services. The external auditors may be best equipped to render certain categories of services (such as tax compliance services) to an issuer in the most efficient and economical manner. The Board believes that it is appropriate for the Corporation to preserve its ability to retain its external auditors for non-audit services in the permitted categories, subject to the checks and balances below. The Audit, Finance & Risk Committee believes that the policy will protect Shareholders from the potential loss of independence of the external auditors. This policy will be updated, as necessary, to reflect future legislative changes.

     The Audit, Finance & Risk Committee annually reviews with the external auditors their qualifications and independence, including formal written statements delineating all relationships between the auditors, their affiliates and the Corporation that may impact the auditors’ independence and objectivity. The Corporation is voluntarily disclosing all services rendered by the auditors by category, as described below, together with the corresponding fees paid to the auditors for each category of service for the year ended December 31, 2002. Rules passed under the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require such disclosure in the future.

Fees paid to Auditors

        For the year ended December 31, 2002, PwC were paid approximately:

    $1,249,550 for audit services;
 
    $26,000 for audit-related services;
 
    $81,300 for tax services; and
 
    $494,610 for other services, of which approximately 82% related to a working capital audit performed in connection with the disposition of the Energy Services business.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The Directors will place before the Meeting the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders, which contains the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Auditors’ Report, is included with the general mailing of this Circular to Shareholders, which is expected to be made on or about March 28, 2003. The 2002 Annual Report, the Notice of Meeting and the Circular will be available for viewing (and electronic delivery) on or about March 28, 2003 at www.enbridge.com in the Investor Information page under the heading “Reports & Services”. Additional copies of the Annual Report are available from the office of the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation.

PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Amendment to By-Law No. 1 of the Corporation

     The Corporation is governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”). Until very recently the CBCA had not undergone any major revisions since its enactment in 1975. Effective November 24, 2001, following a lengthy consultative process with various interest groups throughout Canada, the CBCA has been extensively amended to render its provisions consistent with current business practice, to clarify the wording in certain provisions and to implement numerous technical changes.

     By-Law No. 1 of the Corporation, which regulates the business and affairs of the Corporation, has been amended, to the extent considered appropriate by the Board, to reflect amendments to the provisions of the CBCA that are also the subject matter of By-Law No. 1. The amendments took effect on February 25, 2003, the date of the Directors’ Resolution making such amendments, but they will cease to be effective unless confirmed at the Meeting by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders.

     By-Law No. 1 is reproduced as Appendix “C” in a form that shows both the original and amended language. The most significant amendments are described below, but Shareholders are urged to read the amended By-Law No. 1 in its entirety.

     A number of the amendments to the CBCA relate to electronic communications. By-Law No. 1 was revised by resolution of the Board of Directors dated February 21, 2001 and confirmed at the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on May 2, 2001 to permit the use of electronic and other technologically enhanced means to provide notice of, communications with and attendance and participation at meetings of Shareholders of the Corporation, as described in Appendix “C” to the Management Information Circular of the Corporation dated February 23, 2001. No further action to amend By-Law No. 1 is required with respect to this item.

     Significant amendments have also been made to the provisions of the CBCA permitting the indemnification of directors and officers of a corporation and any body corporate in which such corporation had a shareholding or other financial interest. The statutory indemnification rules now permit a corporation to indemnify a director or officer, or a person acting in a similar capacity, of any body corporate, partnership, a trust or joint venture or other entity and the requirement that a corporation have a shareholding or other financial interest in that entity has been removed. In recognition of the inequity requiring a director or officer to bear the sometimes staggering legal expenses of an inquiry pending a final adjudication which may take years, the CBCA now expressly allows a corporation to advance funds to a director or officer to defray the costs and expenses of that individual’s involvement in the proceedings. The beneficiary of these advances must repay them if it is determined, in the case of civil proceedings, that he or she was in breach of his or her fiduciary duties or, in the case of criminal or administrative proceedings, that he or she did not have good reason to believe that his or her conduct was in compliance with the CBCA. It was unclear under the former provisions of the CBCA whether indemnification was permissible only in respect of civil, criminal or administrative proceedings or whether it extended to investigative proceedings. The CBCA has clarified

17


Table of Contents

that indemnification extends to investigative proceedings. The requirement that the director or officer be substantially successful on the merits of his or her defense of the action or proceeding to be entitled to indemnification as of right has been amended to allow such indemnity if the authority conducting the proceedings determines that the director or officer did not commit a fault or omit to do anything that he or she ought to have done.

     The CBCA no longer restricts the right of a corporation to purchase liability insurance for liabilities arising from a director’s or officer’s failure to fulfill his or her fiduciary duties toward the corporation or a body corporate where he or she acts as a director or officer at the request of the corporation. When and under what circumstances insurers are prepared to provide directors and officers insurance is now left to the market.

     The amendments to By-Law No. 1 became effective upon being approved by the Board; however, under the Canada Business Corporations Act, the Board is required to submit the amendments to the Shareholders at the Meeting, at which time the Shareholders may confirm, reject or amend the amendments. The Shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to consider and, if thought fit, to approve, by a simple majority of votes cast at the Meeting, the following resolution (the “By-Law Resolution”).

       
  RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION THAT:
       
  1.   By-Law No. 1 of the Corporation, as presented in Appendix “C” to the Management Information Circular of the Corporation dated March 4, 2003, is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved.
       
  2.   The Corporate Secretary or any officer of the Corporation be and each of them is hereby authorized, for and on behalf of the Corporation, to execute and deliver such other documents and instruments and take such other actions as such officer may determine to be necessary or advisable to implement this resolution and the matters authorized hereby, such determination to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of any such documents or instruments and the taking of any such actions.

     The Board of Directors has determined that amending By-Law No. 1 is in the best interests of the Shareholders and therefore recommends that the Shareholders vote to approve the By-Law Resolution. The By-Law Resolution requires the approval of a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting in order to be adopted, failing which the amendments to By-Law No. 1 shall cease to be effective.

     Unless otherwise specified in a Proxy Form or by telephone or internet voting instruction that the Enbridge Shares represented by the proxy shall be voted against the By-Law Resolution, it is the intention of the persons designated in the enclosed Proxy Form to vote FOR the approval of the By-Law Resolution.

Table of Contents

     Set out below is a description of the options that registered shareholders and beneficial shareholders have for voting their Enbridge Shares. Registered shareholders (“Registered Shareholders”) hold their Enbridge Shares in their own name (i.e., their shares are represented by a physical share certificate registered in their name). Beneficial shareholders (“Beneficial Shareholders”) do not hold their Enbridge Shares by a share certificate issued in their own name but rather in an account where their shares are held in the name of a nominee (also known as “street form”), which is usually a trust company, securities broker or financial institution. Some Shareholders may own Enbridge Shares as both a Registered Shareholder and as a Beneficial Shareholder. Such shareholders will need to vote separately, using the applicable procedure, in respect of Enbridge Shares held in their own name or held beneficially through their nominee.

Registered Shareholders

     Registered Shareholders who are unable to be present at the Meeting may vote through the use of proxies. If you are a Registered Shareholder you should convey your voting instructions in one of the three voting methods available to you: (i) use of the paper Proxy Form to be returned by mail or delivery; (ii) use of the telephone voting procedure; or (iii) use of the internet voting procedure. By conveying your voting instructions in one of the three ways, you can participate in the Meeting through the person or persons named on the Proxy Form. Please indicate your vote on each item of business and your vote will be cast accordingly. If you do not indicate a preference, the Enbridge Shares represented by the enclosed Proxy Form, if the same is executed in favour of, or instructions are given for the appointment of, the management nominees named in the Proxy Form, will be voted in favour of all the matters identified in the Notice of Meeting.

     The paper Proxy Form is the only voting option by which a Registered Shareholder may appoint a person as proxy other than the management nominees named on the Proxy Form.

Mail:

     If a Registered Shareholder elects to use the paper Proxy Form, then it must be completed, dated, and signed in accordance with the instructions included with the Proxy Form. It must then be returned to CIBC Mellon Trust Company by use of the postage paid return envelope provided or by delivery to one of its principal corporate trust offices in Calgary, Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg at or before 4:00 p.m. (local time) on the second last business day (May 5, 2003) preceding the day of the Meeting (or any adjournment of the Meeting), or with the Secretary of the Meeting prior to commencement of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or the day of any adjournment of the Meeting. A list of addresses for CIBC Mellon Trust Company is set forth in Appendix “D” to this Circular.

Telephone:

     If a Registered Shareholder elects to vote by telephone, then a touch-tone telephone must be used to transmit voting preferences to a toll free number: 1-877-290-3210 (English and French). A Registered Shareholder must follow the instructions of the “Vote Voice” and refer to the Proxy Form sent to such shareholder, and will be required to enter the Control Number provided to such shareholder, as described under the heading “Control Number”, below. Voting instructions are then conveyed by use of touch-tone selections over the telephone.

Internet:

     If a Registered Shareholder elects to vote by internet (English and French), then they must access the website:

www.proxyvoting.com/enbridge

     A Registered Shareholder must then follow the instructions contained on the website and refer to the Proxy Form sent to such shareholder, and will be required to enter the Control Number provided to such shareholder, as described under the heading “Control Number”, below. Voting instructions are then conveyed electronically by the Registered Shareholder over the internet.

19


Table of Contents

Control Number:

     In order to vote via the telephone or the internet, Registered Shareholders will be required to enter the 13 digit Control Number located on the back side of the Proxy Form (lower left hand side) that has been provided to them.

Beneficial (or non-registered) Shareholders

     Beneficial Shareholders are shareholders who do not hold their Enbridge Shares in their own name but rather in the name of a “nominee”, which is usually a trust company, securities broker or financial institution. Nominee holders are required to seek instructions from Beneficial Shareholders as to how to vote such securities. Each nominee has their own procedures for seeking voting instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Enbridge Shares are voted at the Meeting.

     Most nominees will mail a voting instruction form to Beneficial Shareholders asking them to complete such form and return it to the nominee. The nominee then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of the Enbridge Shares to be represented at the Meeting.

     In addition to conveying voting instructions via mail, nominees may also provide Beneficial Shareholders with the option to convey their voting instructions via the telephone or the internet. Beneficial Shareholders should carefully review the information provided by their nominee to determine the proxy voting options available to them.

     As the Corporation does not have access to the names of Beneficial Shareholders, if a Beneficial Shareholder attends the Meeting, the Corporation will have no record of their shareholdings or their entitlement to vote, unless their nominee has appointed them as proxyholder. If a Beneficial Shareholder wishes to vote in person at the Meeting, they should insert their own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form provided by their nominee and follow the signing and return instructions provided by their nominee. By doing so, the Beneficial Shareholder is instructing their nominee to appoint them as proxyholder to attend at the Meeting and vote their Enbridge Shares in person.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

     A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than the management nominees designated on the accompanying Proxy Form. This can be accomplished when you convey your voting instructions, and can only be done by conveying your voting instructions on the paper Proxy Form to be returned by mail or delivery, and completed by crossing out the printed names and inserting the name of the person you wish to act as proxy in the blank space provided. The person so appointed, if such person is other than the management nominees whose names are printed in the Proxy Form, should be notified. The person acting as proxy need not be a Shareholder.

DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY OF PROXY

     The voting instructions conveyed by a Shareholder by any of the three means concerning the matters described on the enclosed Proxy Form confers discretionary authority upon the proxy nominees with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Annual and Special Meeting and other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. The Board of Directors and management do not know of any such matter which may be presented for consideration at the Meeting. However, if any such matter is presented, the proxy will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the proxy nominees named in the Proxy Form.

REVOCATION OF PROXY

     Proxies given by Shareholders may be revoked at any time prior to their use, by instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder, or by his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, and deposited at the registered office of the Corporation, Suite 3000, 425 – 1st Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3L8, if the prior instructions were submitted by mail. If the instructions were conveyed by telephone or the internet then conveying new instructions by any of these three means will revoke the prior instructions. Proxies can thus be revoked at any time up to and including 4:00 p.m. (local time) on May 5, 2003, the second last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or in any other manner permitted by law, including, without limitation, personal attendance at the Meeting.

Table of Contents

     If the instrument of revocation is deposited with the Chairman on the date of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, the instrument will not be effective with respect to any matter on which a vote has already been cast pursuant to the proxy to be revoked.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

     The cost of this solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Corporation. In addition to solicitation by mail, the Officers, Directors and employees of the Corporation may, without additional compensation, solicit proxies personally or by telephone.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR NEXT MEETING

     The Canada Business Corporations Act, which governs the Corporation, provides that shareholder proposals must be received by December 5, 2003 to be considered for inclusion in the management information circular and the form of proxy for the 2004 annual meeting of Shareholders, which is expected to be held on or about May 1, 2004.

APPENDIX “B”

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

ALIGNMENT WITH TSX GUIDELINES

     The Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), upon which the Enbridge Shares are listed, requires every listed corporation to disclose on an annual basis its approach to corporate governance. The disclosure must make specific reference to each of the TSX’s corporate governance guidelines (the “Guidelines”) and, where the approach is different from any of those Guidelines or where the Guidelines do not apply, must explain the differences or their inapplicability. Set out below is a table addressing the Corporation’s approach to each of the Guidelines. The Board believes that the Corporation is in full alignment with the Guidelines.

     
Guideline 1:   The board of directors of every corporation should explicitly assume responsibility for the stewardship of the corporation.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Board has plenary power from Shareholders to manage, or supervise the management of, the business and affairs of the Corporation. The Board is responsible for the overall stewardship of the Corporation and, in discharging that responsibility, reviews, approves and provides guidance in respect of the strategic planning process of the Corporation and reviews the progress of strategic planning as it occurs. The Governance Committee defines and recommends to the Board the role of the Board, the roles of Committees of the Board, and the general division of duties as between the Board and the Chief Executive Officer.
 
    The Governance Committee has developed a mandate statement for the Board as a whole which has been adopted by the Board. Descriptions of specific Board responsibilities are set forth in the by-laws of the Corporation, in the mandates of the Committees of the Board, and more generally in the Canada Business Corporations Act
 
    The Board has delegated to the President & Chief Executive Officer and senior management the responsibility for day-to-day management of the business of the Corporation, subject to compliance with the plans approved from time to time by the Board. In addition to those matters which must, pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act and the Articles of the Corporation, be approved by the Board, the Board has specified limits to management’s responsibility as recommended in the Guidelines, and retains responsibility for significant changes in the Corporation’s affairs such as the approval of major capital expenditures, debt and equity financing arrangements and significant acquisitions and divestitures.
     
Guideline 1a:   As part of the overall stewardship responsibility, the board of directors should assume responsibility for adoption of a strategic planning process.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Board reviews, approves and oversees guidelines in respect of the strategic plan of the Corporation and reviews the progress of strategic planning as it occurs. Two Board meetings per year are devoted to the strategic plan.

B-1


Table of Contents

     
Guideline 1b:   As part of the overall stewardship responsibility, the board of directors should assume responsibility for the identification of the principal risks of the corporation’s business and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Board oversees identification of the principal risks to the Corporation on an annual basis, monitors the Corporation’s risk management programs and seeks assurance that internal control systems and management information systems are in place and operating effectively.
 
    The Corporation has in place a comprehensive risk assessment system which incorporates relevant risk assessment information from the major corporate businesses. The risk assessment process analyzes existing and emerging risks within defined categories, with corresponding mitigating factors. Common measurement and assessment criteria enable the ranking of risks from diversified businesses on a consolidated basis in accordance with a range of loss consequences, and over a stated time horizon. The Board and the Audit, Finance & Risk Committee specifically oversee review of principal risks to the Corporation on an annual basis, monitor the Corporation’s risk management program and oversee the review of risks in conjunction with internal and external auditors. Other Board committees also authorize implementation and monitor systems put in place to address applicable risks. For example, the Environment, Health & Safety Committee has authorized establishment of an environmental risk management system and monitors its operation. The Board has delegated certain responsibilities to each of its committees, and they report and make recommendations to the Board on a regular basis, as well as oversee the implementation and monitoring of systems put in place to address applicable risks.
     
Guideline 1c:   As part of the overall stewardship responsibility, the board of directors should assume responsibility for succession planning, including appointing, training and monitoring senior management.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Board monitors the implementation of appropriate succession planning.
 
    The general authority guidelines of the Corporation and the Corporation’s strategic plan constitute a mandate for the Chief Executive Officer. This mandate includes the goal to maximize shareholder value. In addition, the Board has established specific terms of reference and a review process for the Chief Executive Officer. The Governance Committee and the Human Resources & Compensation Committee approve the Chief Executive Officer’s objectives on an annual basis. These objectives are reviewed by the Board on an ongoing basis.
 
    The Human Resources & Compensation Committee has responsibility to review and advise the Board on systems and effectiveness relating to employment, succession planning and remuneration of employees, including officers of the Corporation. The Committee monitors the performance of senior management, oversees intellectual capital risk to ensure that management programs deal with succession planning and employee retention, and reports to the Board on organizational structure and succession planning matters. The Committee reviews and monitors executive development programs.

Guideline 1d:   As part of the overall stewardship responsibility, the board of directors should assume responsibility for a communications policy for the Corporation.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Board of Directors has established programs and structures to provide assurance of effective communications between the Corporation, its Shareholders, stakeholders and the public, including communications by the President & Chief Executive Officer; the Corporate Secretariat; and the Environment, Health & Safety, Investor Relations, Financial Services and Government & Public Affairs departments. Management of the Corporation meets frequently with the Board regarding these matters.
     
Guideline 1e:   As part of the overall stewardship responsibility, the board of directors should assume responsibility for the integrity of the Corporation’s internal control and management information systems.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Board seeks assurance that internal control systems and management information systems are in place and operating effectively.
 
    One of the functions of the Audit, Finance & Risk Committee is to review Enbridge’s financial statements and recommend their approval or otherwise to the Board. In performing this function, the Committee has overview responsibility for management reporting on internal controls.
     
Guideline 2:   The board of directors of every corporation should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as unrelated directors. An unrelated director is a director who is independent of management and is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director’s ability to act with a view to the best interests of the corporation, other than interests and relationships arising from shareholding. A related director is a director who is not an unrelated director.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   Ten of the thirteen directors are unrelated directors. D.J. Taylor, as non-executive Chair of the Board is separate from management and holds the office of Chair, B.F. MacNeill, as past Chief Executive Officer, and P.D. Daniel, as current President & Chief Executive Officer, are the only related directors of the Corporation. B.F. MacNeill is not standing for re-election as a Director at the Meeting.
     
Guideline 3:   The application of the definition of “unrelated director” to the circumstances of each individual director should be the responsibility of the board which will be required to disclose on an annual basis whether the board has a majority of unrelated directors. Management directors are related directors. The board will also be required to disclose on an annual basis the analysis of the application of the principles supporting this conclusion.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Directors have examined the definition and have considered their respective interests in and relationship with the Corporation in determining that ten of the thirteen directors are unrelated directors, by the analysis briefly stated in Guideline 2.

B-3


Table of Contents

     
Guideline 4:   The board of directors of every corporation should appoint a committee of directors composed exclusively of outside, i.e., non-management, directors, a majority of whom are unrelated directors, with the responsibility for proposing to the full board new nominees to the board and for assessing directors on an ongoing basis.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Governance Committee is composed solely of non-management Directors and has a majority of members who are unrelated Directors. D.J. Taylor, as non-executive Chair of the Board, and B.F. MacNeill, as past Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, are related Directors. B.F. MacNeill is not standing for re-election as a Director at the Meeting.
 
    The Governance Committee has responsibility to propose nominee directors and to assess directors on an ongoing basis. To that end, the Governance Committee has a process to monitor the quality of, and recommend changes to, the relationship between and among the Board, its Committees and management, including the assessment of the performance of the Board as a whole and its Committees by survey, assessment of the Chair of the Board by Board survey, as well as reviewing the contributions of individual Directors. One of the Governance Committee’s objectives is to nominate a balanced mix of Board members with the experience and expertise to provide value to the Corporation and its shareholders in respect of the Corporation’s business and strategic plans. The Governance Committee sets guidelines, reviewed annually, which include criteria to add Directors who possess relevant and/or senior executive expertise or other qualifications, including an intent to achieve an appropriate mix of gender and minority representation on the Board.
     
Guideline 5:   Every board of directors should implement a process to be carried out by the nominating committee or other appropriate committee for assessing the effectiveness of the board as a whole, the committees of the board and the contribution of individual directors.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Governance Committee has a process to monitor the quality of, and recommend changes to, the relationship between and among the Board, its Committees and management, including the assessment of the performance of the Board as a whole and its Committees by a survey, assessment of the Chair of the Board by Board survey, as well as reviewing the contributions of individual Directors.
     
Guideline 6:   Every corporation, as an integral element of the process for appointing new directors, should provide an orientation and education program for new recruits to the board.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Corporation provides an orientation and education program for new directors. In addition to having discussions with the Chair of the Board, and receiving presentations from the President & Chief Executive Officer and senior management with respect to the business and operations of the Corporation, a new Director also receives a Director’s Manual, including a record of public and other information concerning the Corporation.
 
    The continuing education offered to Directors includes an orientation at the time of each new Committee assignment, and ongoing presentations by management, site and facility tours, and special presentations in response to Director’s requests.

Guideline 7:   Every board of directors should examine its size and, with a view to determining the impact of the number upon effectiveness, undertake where appropriate, a program to reduce the number of directors to a number which facilitates more effective decision-making.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   Twelve members are to be nominated for election to the Board. The Board must have a sufficient number of Directors to carry out its duties efficiently, while presenting a diversity of views and experience. The Board reviews the contributions of the Directors and considers whether the current size of the Board promotes effectiveness and efficiency, and believes that the appropriate size of the Board is ten to thirteen members.
     
Guideline 8:   The board of directors should review the adequacy and form of the compensation of directors and ensure the compensation realistically reflects the responsibilities and risk involved in being an effective director.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Governance Committee is mandated to review annually and recommend to the Board the adequacy and form of remuneration of Directors. The Governance Committee has resources to utilize external consultants to assist with this role.
     
Guideline 9:   Committees of the board of directors should generally be composed of outside directors, a majority of whom are unrelated directors, although some board committees, such as the executive committee, may include one or more inside directors.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Board currently has four standing Committees, all of which are composed solely of non-management, unrelated Directors, other than the Human Resources & Compensation Committee and the Governance Committee which include D.J. Taylor as a member and the Audit, Finance & Risk Committee and the Governance Committee which include B.F. MacNeill as a member. B.F. MacNeill is not standing for re-election as a Director at the Meeting.

Guideline 10:   Every board of directors should expressly assume responsibility for, or assign to a committee of directors the general responsibility for, developing the corporation’s approach to governance issues. This committee would, amongst other things, be responsible for the corporation’s response to these governance guidelines.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Governance Committee focuses on the structure and processes of corporate governance at Enbridge. The objective of the Governance Committee is to seek assurance that a comprehensive system of stewardship and accountability to Shareholders is in place and functioning among Directors, management and employees of the Corporation.
    The Governance Committee defines and recommends to the Board the role of the Board, the roles of Committees of the Board, and the general division of duties as between the Board and the Chief Executive Officer. The Governance Committee has developed a mandate statement for the Board as a whole, which has been adopted by the Board. Descriptions of specific Board responsibilities are set forth in the by-laws of the Corporation, in the mandate statements of the Board and its Committees, and more generally in the Canada Business Corporations Act.
    The process of corporate governance is the means by which the Directors and management fulfill the accountabilities and stewardship owed to Shareholders. The Governance Committee is mandated to be responsible for and make recommendations to the Board concerning the overall governance of the Corporation. Included in its mandate is the responsibility to review the mandates for the various Committees of the Board, recommend the nomination of Directors to Committees of the Board, develop the Corporation’s approach to governance issues, set corporate governance guidelines for the Board and assume responsibility for the Corporation’s response to those guidelines.

Guideline 12:   Every board of directors should have in place appropriate structures and procedures to ensure that the board can function independently of management. An appropriate structure would be to (i) appoint a chair of the board who is not a member of management with responsibility to ensure the board discharges its responsibilities or (ii) adopt alternate means such as assigning this responsibility to a committee of the board or to a director, sometimes referred to as the “lead director”. Appropriate procedures may involve the board meeting on a regular basis without management present or may involve expressly assigning the responsibility for administering the board’s relationship to management to a committee of the board.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Governance Committee is mandated to ensure that the Board functions independently of management. The Chair of the Board is not a member of management, and is “related” solely by holding the office of Chair of the Board. The Board and its Committees meet in-camera and independently of management often and whenever appropriate, and have a policy permitting individual Directors and the Board and its Committees access to independent advisors, if requested.
     
Guideline 13:   The audit committee of every board of directors should be composed only of outside directors. The roles and responsibilities of the audit committee should be specifically defined so as to provide appropriate guidance to audit committee members as to their duties. The audit committee should have direct communication channels with the internal and external auditors to discuss and review specific issues as appropriate. The audit committee duties should include oversight responsibility for management reporting on internal control. While it is management’s responsibility to design and implement an effective system of internal control, it is the responsibility of the audit committee to ensure that management has done so.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   The Audit, Finance & Risk Committee is composed solely of non-management, unrelated Directors, other than B.F. MacNeill who, as past Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, is a related Director. B.F. MacNeill is not standing for re-election as a Director at the Meeting.
    The principal function of the Audit, Finance & Risk Committee is to review Enbridge’s financial statements and recommend their approval or otherwise to the Board. In performing this function, the Committee monitors audit functions and the preparation of financial statements, communicates directly with both internal and external auditors, has overview responsibility for management reporting on internal controls, and meets with external auditors independently of management to discuss, among other things, their qualifications, independence and objectivity. The Committee also recommends approval of press releases of financial results, reviews all financial information and financial statements contained in any prospectus, reviews the Management Discussion & Analysis section of the Corporation’s quarterly and annual financial reports and reviews the Corporation’s Annual Information Form. The Committee, together with the Board, specifically oversees the review of the principal risks to the Corporation as noted above in the discussion relating to Guideline 1b.

Guideline 14:   The board of directors should implement a system which enables an individual director to engage an outside adviser at the expense of the corporation in appropriate circumstances. The engagement of the outside advisor should be subject to the approval of an appropriate committee of the board.
 
Does Enbridge Align?   Yes
 
Description of Approach:   Directors of the Corporation may engage outside advisers in appropriate circumstances, at the Corporation’s expense and subject to the approval of the Governance Committee, to provide advice with respect to a corporate decision or action.

The banking business of the Corporation, or any part thereof, shall be transacted with such banks, trust companies or other firms or corporations carrying on a banking business as the board of directors may from time to time designate, appoint or authorize by resolution. All such banking business, or any part thereof, shall be transacted on the Corporation’s behalf by such one or more officers and/or other persons as the board may from time to time designate, direct or authorize by resolution and to the extent therein provided, including the operation of the Corporation’s accounts; the making, signing, drawing, accepting, endorsing, negotiating, lodging, depositing, or transferring of cheques, promissory notes, drafts, acceptances, bills of exchange or orders for the payment of money; the giving of receipts for and orders relating to any property of the Corporation; the execution of any agreement relating to any such banking business and defining the rights and powers of the parties thereto, and the authorizing of any officer of such banker to do any act or thing on the Corporation’s behalf to facilitate such banking business.

Subject to the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act, the board of directors may from time to time declare dividends payable to the shareholders according to their respective rights and interests in the Corporation. Dividends may be paid in money or property or by issuing fully paid shares of the Corporation.

{(b) Payment. A dividend payable in cash shall be paid by cheque drawn on the Corporations bankers or one or more of them to the order of each registered holder of shares of the class or series in respect of which it has been declared and mailed by prepaid ordinary mail to such registered holder at his recorded address, unless such holder otherwise in writing directs. In the case of joint holders the cheques shall, unless such joint holders otherwise in writing direct, be made payable to the order of all such joint holders, and if more than one address is recorded on the Corporations securities register in respect of such joint holding, the cheque shall be mailed to the first address so recorded. The mailing of such cheque as aforesaid, unless the same is not paid on due presentation, shall satisfy and discharge the liability for the dividend to the extent of the sum represented thereby plus the amount of any tax which the Corporation is required to and does withhold.

(c)  Non-receipt of Cheques. In the event of non-receipt of any dividend cheque by the person to whom it is sent as aforesaid, the Corporation may issue to such person a replacement cheque for a like amount upon such terms as to indemnity and evidence of non-receipt as the board may from time to time prescribe, whether generally or in any particular case.

If no record date is so fixed, the record date for the determination of the persons entitled to receive payment of any dividend or to exercise the right to subscribe for securities of the Corporation shall be at the close of business on the day on which the resolution relating to such dividend or right to subscribe is passed by the board. Only such persons as shall be shareholders of record at the close of business on the date so fixed shall be

entitled to receive payment of such dividend or exercise the right to subscribe for securities of the Corporation notwithstanding the transfer of any share after any such record date fixed as aforesaid.

59} 58. Method of Giving Notices.

  (c)   In the event that it is impossible or impractical for any reason whatsoever to give notice as aforesaid, notice may be given by an advertisement published once in a newspaper or posted on publicly available websites or other electronic means in such cities or places as the board of directors shall from time to time determine.
 
  (d)   If any notice given to a shareholder pursuant to clause {59(a)} 58(a) is returned on three consecutive occasions because he or she cannot be found and notice cannot be given in compliance with clause {59(b)} 58(b), the Corporation shall not be required to give any further notices to such shareholder until he informs the Corporation, in writing or by electronic or other technologically enhanced format of his or her new address.

{60} 59. Notice to Joint Shareholders. All notices with respect to any share registered in more than one name may, if more than one address is recorded in the securities register of the Corporation in respect of such joint holding, be given to such joint shareholders at the first address so recorded or by electronic or other technologically enhanced format to the shareholder first named in the register and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the holders of any such shares.

{61} 60. Computation of Time. Except as otherwise provided by the Canada Business Corporations Act, in computing the date when notice must be given under any provision of the articles or by-laws requiring a specified number of days notice of any meeting or other event, the date of giving the notice shall be excluded and the date of the meeting or other event shall be included.

{62} 61. Omissions and Errors. The accidental omission to give due notice to any shareholder, director, officer, auditor or member of a committee of the board of directors, or the non-receipt of any notice by such person, or any error in any notice not materially affecting the substance thereof, shall not invalidate any action taken pursuant to such notice or otherwise founded thereon.

{63} 62. Persons Entitled by Death or Operation of Law. Every person who by operation of law, transfer, death or by any other means whatsoever shall become entitled to any share of the Corporation, shall be bound by every notice in respect of such share which shall have been duly given to the person from whom he or she derives his or her title to such share prior to his or her name and address being entered on the securities register of the

Any shareholder (or {his} their duly appointed proxyholder), director, officer, auditor or member of a committee of the board of directors may at any time waive any notice, or waive and abridge the time for any notice, required to be given to him or her under any provision of the Canada Business Corporations Act, the articles, the by-laws or otherwise, and such waiver or abridgment, whether given before or after the meeting or other event of which notice is required to be given, shall cure any default in the giving or in the time of such notice, as the case may be.

GENERAL

{65} 64. Subject to the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act, {the board may from time to time determine whether and to what extent and at what time and place and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Corporation or any of them shall be opened to the inspection of shareholders, and no} no individual, entity, person or shareholder shall have any right {of inspecting} to inspect any account or book or document of the Corporation except as conferred by statute or authorized by the board or by a resolution of the shareholders.

{66} 65. No shareholder shall be entitled to any information respecting any details or conduct of the Corporation’s business which in the opinion of the board of directors it would be inexpedient in the interests of the shareholders of the Corporation to communicate to the public.

This “General By-Law No. 1” shall come into force on {the date shown in the Certificate of Amendment issued in conjunction with the filing of the Articles of Arrangement of Interprovincial Pipe Line Inc. pursuant to the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act.} February 24, 2003.
