TCPL's net income applicable to common shares (net earnings) for second quarter
2005 was $199 million compared to $388 million for the same period in 2004. The
decrease of $189 million was primarily due to the recording in second quarter
2004 of $187 million of after-tax gains relating to the sale of the ManChief and
Curtis Palmer assets to TransCanada Power, L.P. (Power LP) and the recognition
of dilution gains resulting from a reduction in TCPL's ownership interest in
Power LP and other previously deferred gains, as well as a $7 million after-tax
gain on sale of the company's equity interest in the Millennium Pipeline project
(Millennium).
Excluding the total gains of $194 million recorded in second quarter 2004
related to Power LP and Millennium and $1 million recorded in second quarter
2005 related to TC PipeLines, LP (PipeLines LP), earnings for second quarter
2005 increased $4 million to $198 million, compared to second quarter 2004.
This was mainly due to a $25 million increase in Gas Transmission's net income
for second quarter 2005, partially offset by a decrease of $20 million in
Power's net income. The increase in Gas Transmission's net income was primarily
due to net income of approximately $21 million ($13 million related to 2004 and
$8 million related to the first six months of 2005) recorded in second quarter
2005 as a result of the decision from the National Energy Board (NEB) on the
Canadian Mainline's 2004 Tolls and Tariff Application (Phase II) dealing with
capital structure which increased deemed equity thickness to 36 per cent from 33
per cent effective January 1, 2004. In addition, $16 million was generated from
the Gas Transmission Northwest System and the North Baja
2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
System (collectively GTN), which were acquired by TCPL on November 1, 2004. The
decrease in Power's net income was primarily due to lower equity income from
Bruce Power L.P. (Bruce Power) and lower operating and other income from Western
Operations, partially offset by higher operating and other income from Eastern
Operations as a result of the USGen New England, Inc. (USGen) acquisition.
Corporate net expenses for second quarter 2005 were consistent with the prior
year second quarter.
TCPL's net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $431 million
compared to $602 million for the comparable period in 2004. The decrease of
$171 million in the first six months of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004
was primarily due to the 2004 gains related to Power LP and, in 2005, lower
Power net income and higher net expenses in the Corporate segment, partially
offset by higher net income from the Gas Transmission business.
Excluding the above-mentioned $187 million of gains related to Power LP in the
first six months of 2004, Power net income for the six months ended June 30,
2005 decreased $55 million as a result of lower equity income from Bruce Power
and reduced contributions from Eastern and Western Operations.
The increase in net expenses of $10 million in the Corporate segment in the six
months ended June 30, 2005 was primarily as a result of higher interest expense
compared to the same period in 2004. In second quarter 2005, this higher
interest expense was primarily offset by income tax refunds and certain positive
income tax adjustments.
Excluding the $49 million after-tax gain on sale of PipeLines LP units in 2005
and the $7 million after-tax gain on sale of the company's equity interest in
Millennium in 2004, the $39 million increase in net income in the Gas
Transmission business for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the
same period in 2004 was primarily attributable to $39 million generated from
GTN.
Funds generated from operations of $478 million and $885 million for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2005 increased $96 million and $88 million,
respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2004.
Gas Transmission
The Gas Transmission business generated net income of $165 million and $376
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared
to $146 million and $295 million for the same periods in 2004.

Wholly-Owned Pipelines
The Canadian Mainline's net income increased $20 million and $19 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, when compared to the
corresponding periods in 2004. This increase reflects the impact of the NEB's
decision on the Canadian Mainline's 2004 Tolls and Tariff Application (Phase II)
in April 2005, which included an increase in the deemed common equity ratio from
33 per cent to 36 per cent for 2004 and which is also effective for 2005 under
the 2005 tolls settlement with shippers, partially offset by a decrease in the
approved rate of return on common equity to 9.46 per cent in 2005 from 9.56 per
cent in 2004. As a result of the NEB decision, Canadian Mainline's net income
increased $21 million ($13 million related to 2004 and $8 million related to the
first six months of 2005) in second quarter 2005.
4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Alberta System's net income of $37 million in second quarter 2005 is $2
million lower than the same quarter in 2004. Net income for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 decreased $5 million compared to the same period in 2004.
These decreases were primarily due to a lower investment base in 2005 as well as
a lower approved rate of return in 2005. Net income in 2005 reflects a rate of
return of 9.50 per cent, as prescribed by the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board
(EUB), on deemed common equity of 35 per cent compared to a rate of return of
9.60 per cent in 2004.
GTN, which was acquired by TCPL in November 2004, generated net income of $16
million in second quarter 2005 and $39 million in the six months ended June 30,
2005. Net income for the Foothills System for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2005 is comparable to the same period in the prior year.

(3) TCPL acquired the Gas Transmission Northwest System on November 1, 2004. The
system is currently operating under a fixed rate model approved by the United
States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and, as a result, the system's
current results are not dependent on average investment base.
Other Gas Transmission
TCPL's proportionate share of net income from its Other Gas Transmission
businesses was $19 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to
$35 million for the same period in 2004. The second quarter 2004 results
include a $7 million after-tax gain on sale of the company's equity interest in
Millennium. Excluding this gain, and the $1 million after-tax gain on sale of
additional units of PipeLines LP recorded in second quarter 2005, income for
second quarter 2005 decreased $10 million compared to the same period in 2004.
The decrease was mainly due to lower earnings from PipeLines LP reflecting a
reduced ownership interest, lower earnings from Great Lakes as a result of lower
short-term revenues and higher operating and maintenance costs, as
5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well as the negative impact of a weaker U.S. dollar on the company's U.S.
operations.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $100 million compared to
$72 million for the corresponding period in 2004. Excluding the $49 million
after-tax gain on sale of PipeLines LP units recorded in 2005, and the $7
million after-tax gain on sale of Millennium recorded in 2004, year-to-date
earnings are $14 million lower compared to the same period in 2004. The
decrease is due to lower earnings from Great Lakes, lower earnings from Iroquois
primarily due to a tax adjustment recorded in first quarter 2004 and lower
earnings from PipeLines LP reflecting a reduced ownership interest. Results
were also negatively impacted by a weaker U.S. dollar in 2005. These decreases
were partially offset by higher earnings from CrossAlta as a result of
favourable conditions in the natural gas storage market.
As at June 30, 2005, TCPL had capitalized $8 million of costs related to its
Broadwater liquified natural gas (LNG) project.

Power's net income in second quarter 2005 of $42 million decreased $207 million
compared to second quarter 2004, primarily due to $187 million of gains related
to Power LP in second quarter 2004. Excluding these gains, Power's net income
of $42 million for second quarter 2005 decreased $20 million compared to $62
million for the same period in 2004. Higher operating and other income from
Eastern Operations partially offset lower operating and other income from Bruce
Power and Western Operations.
Eastern Operations' operating and other income was $17 million higher in second
quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004
6
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
primarily due to the acquisition of hydroelectric generation assets from USGen
on April 1, 2005.
Bruce Power's equity income was lower by $35 million in second quarter 2005
compared to second quarter 2004 primarily due to lower generation volumes and
higher costs resulting from a planned maintenance outage on Unit 7 (54 days) and
an unplanned maintenance outage on Unit 6 (27 days) as a result of a transformer
fire outside the generating facility. Higher realized power prices in second
quarter 2005 partially offset the impact of the lower generation volumes as well
as increased outage and operating costs.
Western Operations' operating and other income was $7 million lower in second
quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 primarily due to fee revenues
earned in 2004 on the sale of ManChief and Curtis Palmer to Power LP and reduced
margins from lower market heat rates on uncontracted volumes of power generated.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $72 million decreased $242
million compared to $314 million in 2004. Excluding the $187 million of Power
LP-related gains in 2004, Power's net income for the six months ended June 30,
2005 of $72 million decreased $55 million compared to $127 million in 2004 as a
result of lower equity income from Bruce Power and reduced operating and other
income from Eastern and Western Operations.

Western Operations' operating and other income of $28 million and $58 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was $7 million and $12 million
lower, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2004. The decreases were
mainly due to fee revenues earned in second quarter 2004 on the sale of ManChief
and Curtis Palmer to Power LP and reduced margins resulting from lower market
heat rates on uncontracted volumes of power generated. Lower market heat rates
were the result of weak spot market power prices in Alberta that averaged
approximately $9 per megawatt hour (MWh) less in second quarter 2005 and $6 per
MWh less for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same periods in
2004, while average natural gas prices were slightly higher. A significant
portion of plant generation in Western Operations is sold under long-term
contract to mitigate price risk. Some output is intentionally not committed
under long-term contract to assist in managing Power's overall portfolio of
generation. This approach to portfolio management assists in minimizing costs
in situations where TCPL would otherwise have to purchase electricity in the
open market to fulfill its contractual obligations.
Western Operations' power sales revenues and power cost of sales decreased in
second quarter 2005 primarily due to lower plant availability as a result of
maintenance outages at Sundance B. Power sales revenues also decreased as a
result of lower contracted and spot market prices realized in second quarter
2005. Partially offsetting this decrease were revenues from the 2004 start-up
of the MacKay River facility. Other costs and expenses were higher in second
quarter 2005 primarily due to operating costs associated with the MacKay River
facility. Generation volumes in second quarter 2005 increased 121 gigawatt
hours (GWh) to 511 GWh primarily due to the start-up of the MacKay River
facility, partially offset by a decrease in volumes associated with unplanned
outages at the Bear Creek cogeneration facility.
8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In second quarter 2005, approximately 13 per cent of power sales volumes were
sold into the spot market compared to approximately nine per cent for the same
period in 2004. To reduce its exposure to spot market prices on uncontracted
volumes, as at June 30, 2005, Western Operations had fixed price sales contracts
to sell forward approximately 5,100 GWh for the remainder of 2005 and
approximately 8,000 GWh for 2006.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating and other income in second quarter 2005 from Eastern Operations of $39
million was $17 million higher compared to $22 million earned in the same period
in 2004. The increase was due primarily to income from the acquisition of
hydroelectric generation assets (hydro assets) from USGen on April 1, 2005 and
from the Grandview cogeneration facility which was placed in service in January
2005. Partially offsetting these increases was the loss of income associated
with the sale of the Curtis Palmer hydroelectric facilities to Power LP in April
2004.
Operating and other income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $44
million or $12 million lower than the $56 million earned in 2004. Income from
the acquisition of the hydro assets and income from the Grandview cogeneration
facility were more than offset by a $16 million pre-tax ($10 million after-tax)
contract restructuring payment made by Ocean State Power (OSP) to its natural
gas fuel suppliers in first quarter 2005 and a $16 million pre-tax ($10 million
after-tax) reduction in income as a result of the sale of Curtis Palmer to Power
LP in April 2004. The contract restructuring at OSP reduced the term of the
long-term gas supply contracts with its suppliers by approximately three years
(now ending in October 2008) and adjusted the pricing to track spot pricing of
natural gas at the Niagara delivery point versus the previously arbitrated
pricing that had resulted in above-market cost of gas for OSP.
Generation volumes in second quarter 2005 increased 539 GWh to 962 GWh compared
to 423 GWh in 2004 primarily due to the acquisition of the hydro assets and the
placing in-service of the Grandview cogeneration facility. Partially offsetting
these increases were decreases in volumes associated with the sale of the Curtis
Palmer hydroelectric facility to Power LP in April 2004 and reduced generation
from the OSP facility.
Power sales revenues of $129 million and sales volumes of 1,456 GWh for second
quarter 2005 were consistent with the same period in 2004. Power sales revenues
and volumes sold from the new hydro assets and Grandview were offset by the loss
of revenues and volumes from the sale of Curtis Palmer, the expiration of
long-term sales contracts held at the end of 2004 which did not carry-over into
2005, and an unplanned outage at OSP. This outage is expected to continue into
third quarter 2005. Realized average power prices were consistent in second
quarter of 2004 and 2005. Power cost of sales of $51 million and purchased
volumes of 494 GWh were lower in second quarter 2005 due to the impact of the
purchase of the hydro assets. Volumes generated from the hydro assets reduced
some of the requirement to purchase power to fulfill contractual sales
obligations. Other revenue and cost of sales increased year-over-year primarily
as a result of gas purchased and resold from new gas supply contracts at OSP.
Other costs and expenses of $32 million, which includes fuel gas
10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
consumed in generation, decreased $8 million primarily due to lower fuel costs
from reduced dispatch at the OSP facility.
In second quarter 2005, approximately 16 per cent of power sales volumes were
sold into the spot market compared to approximately one per cent in 2004
reflecting the sale to the spot market of a portion of the generation of the the
hydro assets acquired on April 1, 2005. Eastern Operations is focused on
selling the majority of its power under contract to wholesale, commercial and
industrial customers while managing a portfolio of power supplies sourced from
its own generation, wholesale power purchases and power purchased from Power
LP's Castleton plant. To reduce its exposure to spot market prices, as at June
30, 2005, Eastern Operations had entered into fixed price sales contracts to
sell forward approximately 2,800 GWh of power for the remainder of 2005 and
approximately 3,300 GWh of power for 2006. Certain contracted volumes are
dependent on customer usage levels.

TCPL's share of Bruce Power's income before income taxes (equity income) was
lower by $35 million in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004
primarily due to lower generation volumes and higher costs resulting from a
planned maintenance outage on Unit 7 (54 days) and Unit 4 (27 days) and an
unplanned maintenance outage on Unit 6 (29 days) relating to a transformer fire
outside the generating facility. Higher realized power prices in second quarter
2005 partially offset the reduction in revenues from lower generation volumes
and an increase in outage and operating costs.
TCPL's share of power output from Bruce Power for second quarter 2005 was 2,306
GWh compared to 2,962 GWh in second quarter 2004. This decrease primarily
reflects lower output in 2005 as a result of an increase in planned maintenance
outages compared to second
11
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
quarter 2004 as well as lost output as a result of the Unit 6 transformer fire
outage in second quarter 2005. On April 15, 2005, Bruce Power experienced a
transformer fire outside of the generating facility. As a result, Unit 6 went
offline and, after the successful replacement of its main output transformer,
was returned to service on May 14, 2005.
Approximately 81 reactor days of planned maintenance outages as well as 57
reactor days of unplanned outages (including the Unit 6 outage of 29 days)
occurred in second quarter 2005. In second quarter 2004, Bruce Power
experienced 36 reactor days of planned maintenance outages and four reactor days
of unplanned outages. The Bruce units ran at an average availability of 71 per
cent in second quarter 2005, compared to a 92 per cent average availability
during second quarter 2004. Unit 4 returned to service on April 28, 2005
following a planned maintenance inspection that began on March 12, 2005. Unit 7
was taken offline on May 7, 2005 to begin its planned maintenance outage,
including the completion of major Spacer Location and Relocation work and
turbine replacement, which is expected to last about three months.
Overall prices achieved during second quarter 2005 were $53 per MWh, compared to
$46 per MWh in second quarter 2004. Prices realized for the six months ending
June 30, 2005 were $51 per MWh compared to $47 per MWh for the same period in
2004. Approximately 49 per cent of the available output was sold into Ontario's
wholesale spot market during the first six months of 2005 with the remainder
being sold under longer term contracts. Bruce Power's operating expenses
increased to $46 per MWh in second quarter 2005 from $30 per MWh in second
quarter 2004. This $16 per MWh increase was due to reduced output and increased
outage costs, primarily related to the Unit 7 and Unit 4 planned maintenance
outages as well as the forced outage at Unit 6. Adjustments to TCPL's interest
in Bruce Power's income before income taxes for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2005 were lower than in 2004 primarily due to lower amortization of the
purchase price allocated to the fair value of sales contracts in place at the
time of acquisition. The six months ended June 30, 2005 adjustment was also
lower due to the cessation of interest capitalization upon the return to service
of Unit 3 in March 2004.
Pre-tax equity income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $43 million
compared to $96 million for the same period in 2004. Effective March 1, 2004,
Bruce Power moved from a five-unit operation to a six-unit operation with the
commercial startup of Unit 3. Planned maintenance outages, as well as the
forced outage due to the April 15, 2005 transformer fire at Unit 6 and other
minor forced outages, reduced the otherwise potential increase in total plant
output as a result of adding a sixth operating unit. This lower output
resulted in reduced sales revenue from that
12
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
achieved in 2004 which was partially offset by higher realized sales prices for
the six months ended June 30, 2005. Bruce Power's operating expenses increased
to $42 per MWh for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $31 per MWh for the
same period in 2004. This was the result of reduced output as well as higher
maintenance costs, higher depreciation and lower capitalization of labour and
other in-house costs following the restart of Unit 3.
Equity income from Bruce Power is directly impacted by fluctuations in wholesale
spot market prices for electricity as well as overall plant availability, which
in turn, is impacted by scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. To reduce its
exposure to spot market prices, Bruce Power has entered into fixed price sales
contracts for approximately 36 per cent of planned output for the balance of
2005. Bruce Power expects a two month planned maintenance outage on Unit 5 in
fourth quarter 2005. Overall plant availability for Bruce Power in 2005 is
expected to remain at 83 per cent.
In June 2005, Bruce Power made a $50 million cash distribution to its partners
(TCPL's share was $16 million). The partners have agreed that all excess cash
will be distributed on a monthly basis and that separate cash calls will be made
for major capital projects.
Bruce Power continues to negotiate an agreement with the Ontario government for
the potential restart of Units 1 and 2 at Bruce Power.
Power LP Investment
Power LP's operating and other income of $8 million and $17 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2005, was $2 million and $1 million higher,
respectively, compared to the same
periods in 2004. The increase was primarily due to additional earnings from
Power LP's 2004 acquisitions of the Curtis Palmer, ManChief, Mamquam and Queen
Charlotte facilities. Partially offsetting this increase was TCPL's reduced
ownership interest in Power LP in 2004 and the effect of the recognition in
second quarter 2004 of all previously deferred gains resulting from the removal
of the Power LP redemption obligation. Prior to the removal of the redemption
obligation, TCPL was recognizing the amortization of these deferred gains into
income over a period through to 2017.
General, Administrative, Support Costs and Other
General, administrative, support costs and other of $26 million in second
quarter 2005 and $51 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were both $2
million higher compared to the same periods
13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in 2004 primarily due to the negative impact of TCPL's proportionate share of
Power LP's unrealized foreign exchange losses on its U.S. dollar denominated
debt.

Corporate
Net expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were $8 million
and $17 million, respectively, compared to net expenses of $7 million for each
of the corresponding periods in 2004.
For the three months ended June 30, 2005, net expenses were comparable to the
same period in the prior year. Income tax refunds and positive tax adjustments
in second quarter 2005 were offset by tax adjustments recorded in second quarter
2004 and higher interest expense on long-term debt that was issued in late 2004
and on higher commercial paper balances in 2005.
The $10 million increase for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the
same period in 2004 was primarily due to increased
14
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
interest expense on long-term debt that was issued in 2004 as well as on higher
commercial paper balances in 2005. Income tax refunds and related interest in
the six months ended June 30, 2004 were comparable to income tax refunds and
positive tax adjustments recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Funds Generated from Operations
Funds generated from operations were $478 million and $885 million for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared with $382 million and
$797 million for the same periods in 2004.
TCPL expects that its ability to generate adequate amounts of cash in the short
term and the long term, when needed, and to maintain financial capacity and
flexibility to provide for planned growth remains substantially unchanged since
December 31, 2004.
Investing Activities
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, capital expenditures, excluding
acquisitions, totalled $135 million (2004 - $93 million) and $243 million (2004
- $194 million), respectively, and related primarily to construction of new
power plants, and maintenance and capacity capital in the Gas Transmission
business.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, disposition of assets generated
$2 million (2004 - $408 million) and $153 million (2004 - $408 million),
respectively. The disposition in 2005 related to the sale of PipeLines LP units
and the dispositions in 2004 related primarily to the sale of ManChief and
Curtis Palmer to Power LP.
Acquisitions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were $632 million
(2004 - $14 million) and related to the purchase of USGen hydro assets and the
acquisition of an additional 3.52 per cent interest in Iroquois Gas Transmission
System L.P. (Iroquois).
Financing Activities
TCPL retired $615 million and $936 million of long-term debt in the three and
six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. TCPL issued $499 million and $799
million of long-term debt in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005,
respectively. Please refer to Other Recent Developments - Other for further
information on long-term debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2005,
outstanding notes payable increased by $533 million, while cash and short-term
investments increased by $22 million.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends
On July 28, 2005, TCPL's Board of Directors declared a dividend for the quarter
ending September 30, 2005 in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate
quarterly dividend to be paid on October 31, 2005 by TransCanada Corporation on
the issued and outstanding common shares as at the close of business on
September 30, 2005. The Board also declared regular dividends on TCPL's
preferred shares.
Contractual Obligations
Primarily as a result of new contracts in the six months ended June 30, 2005,
Power's future purchase obligations are estimated at June 30, 2005 to be as

years and thereafter. For further information on these contractual obligations,
refer to the MD&A in TCPL's 2004 Annual Report.
Financial and Other Instruments
The following represents the material changes to the company's financial
instruments since December 31, 2004.
Energy Price Risk Management
The company executes power, natural gas and heat rate derivatives in order to
manage exposure and risks associated with its overall asset portfolio. Heat
rate contracts are contracts for the sale

Risk Management
TCPL's market, financial and counterparty risks remain substantially unchanged
since December 31, 2004. For further information on risks, refer to the MD&A in
TCPL's 2004 Annual Report.
Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, TCPL's management,
together with TCPL's President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the
President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Officer of TCPL have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.
There were no changes in TCPL's internal control over financial reporting during
the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably
likely to materially affect TCPL's internal control over financial reporting.
Critical Accounting Policy
TCPL's critical accounting policy, which remains unchanged since December 31,
2004, is the use of regulatory accounting for its regulated operations. For
further information on this critical accounting policy, refer to the MD&A in
TCPL's 2004 Annual Report.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Since a determination of many assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses is
dependent upon future events, the preparation of the company's consolidated
financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions which have
been made using careful judgment. TCPL's critical accounting estimate from
December 31, 2004 continues to be depreciation expense. For further information
on this critical accounting estimate, refer to the MD&A in TCPL's 2004 Annual
Report.
Accounting Change
Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation
Effective January 1, 2005, the company adopted the provisions of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants' amendment to the existing Handbook Section "
Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation" which provides guidance
for classifying certain financial instruments that embody obligations that may
be settled by issuance of the issuer's equity shares as debt when the instrument
does not establish an ownership relationship. In accordance with this
amendment, TCPL reclassified the non-controlling interest component of preferred
securities as long-term debt.
This accounting change was applied retroactively with restatement of prior
periods. The impact of this change on TCPL's net income in second quarter 2005
and prior periods was nil.
The impact of the accounting change on the company's consolidated balance sheet
as at December 31, 2004 is as follows.

U.S. GAAP Restatement
In second quarter 2005, the company restated Note 23 (U.S. GAAP) to the 2004
consolidated financial statements. TCPL records its investment in Power LP using
the proportionate consolidation method for Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) purposes and as an equity investment for U.S. GAAP
purposes. During the period from 1997 to April 2004, the company was obligated
to fund the redemption of Power LP units in 2017. As a result, under both
Canadian and U.S. GAAP, TCPL accounted for the issuance of units by Power LP to
third parties as a sale of a future net revenue stream and the resulting gains
were deferred and amortized to income over the period to 2017. The redemption
obligation was removed in April 2004 and the unamortized gains were recognized
as income.
For U.S. GAAP purposes, under the provisions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5:H, certain transactions involving
Power LP, in the period 1997 to 2001, should have been accounted for as dilution
gains rather than as sales of a future net revenue stream. As the company was
committed to fund the redemption of the Power LP units, these gains should have
been recorded, on an after-tax basis, as equity transactions in shareholders'
equity. This has been corrected on a retroactive basis. The correction had no
impact on the accumulated shareholders' equity at December 31, 2004 for U.S.
GAAP purposes. The impact on previously reported income amounts for U.S. GAAP
purposes is as follows.
(millions of dollars) 2004 2003 2002

in Canada on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and in the U.S. on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
under TransCanada PipeLines Limited and are available on the company's website
at www.transcanada.com.
20
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outlook
In 2005, the company expects higher net income from the Gas Transmission segment
than originally anticipated as a result of the $49 million after-tax gain
related to the sale of PipeLines LP units. In addition, the company expects
higher Power net income in 2005 than originally anticipated as a result of the
expected gains on sale of the Power LP of approximately $200 million after tax
and the company's investment in PT Paiton Energy Company (Paiton Energy) of
approximately $115 million after tax. For further information on these
transactions, please refer to Other Recent Developments. Excluding these
impacts, the company's outlook is relatively unchanged since December 31, 2004.
For further information on outlook, refer to the MD&A in TCPL's 2004 Annual
Report.
In 2005, TCPL will continue to direct its resources towards long-term growth
opportunities that will strengthen its financial performance and create
long-term value for shareholders. The company's net income and cash flow
combined with a strong balance sheet continue to provide the financial
flexibility for TCPL to make disciplined investments in its core businesses of
Gas Transmission and Power.
Credit ratings on TransCanada PipeLines Limited's senior unsecured debt assigned
by Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited (DBRS), Moody's Investors Service
(Moody's) and Standard & Poor's are currently A, A2 and A-, respectively. DBRS
and Moody's both maintain a 'stable' outlook on their ratings and Standard &
Poor's maintains a 'negative' outlook on its rating.
Other Recent Developments
Gas Transmission
Wholly-Owned Pipelines
Canadian Mainline
In November 2004, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) filed
an application with the NEB to review and vary its decision on the Canadian
Mainline's 2004 Tolls and Tariff Application with respect to three items:
* non-renewable firm transportation (FT-NR) service;
* long-term incentive compensation; and
* regulatory and legal costs.
On February 18, 2005, the NEB decided to review its decision on the tolls to be
charged for FT-NR, not to review its decision on disputed regulatory and legal
costs and, at CAPP's request, to
21
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
defer its consideration of a review of its decision regarding long-term
incentive compensation. On April 13, 2005, CAPP filed notice with the NEB to
withdraw the portion of its application dealing with long-term incentive
compensation. The NEB heard oral arguments in Calgary in late April 2005 to
consider tolling issues with respect to FT-NR. In a decision issued May 30,
2005, the NEB overturned its initial ruling that FT-NR be tolled on a biddable
basis with a floor price equal to the 100 per cent load factor toll for Firm
Transportation (FT) Service and determined that it should be offered at the same
toll as FT.
In April 2005, TCPL received the NEB's decision on the Canadian Mainline's 2004
Tolls and Tariff Application (Phase II). The NEB, in its decision, approved an
increase in the deemed common equity component of the Canadian Mainline's
capital structure from 33 per cent to 36 per cent for 2004 which is also
effective for 2005 under the 2005 tolls settlement with shippers. This increase
in the common equity component is expected to increase TCPL's 2005 net earnings
by approximately $29 million, of which $13 million relates to 2004 and $16
million relates to 2005.
The return on equity for the Canadian Mainline remains at 9.56 per cent for 2004
and 9.46 per cent for 2005.
On May 30, 2005, in compliance with the NEB's decision regarding TCPL's 2004
Mainline Tolls and Tariff Application(Phase II), TCPL filed a separate final
tolls application with the NEB for 2004 and 2005. On June 23, 2005, the NEB
issued its decision approving the 2004 and 2005 final tolls applications as
filed.
Alberta System
On June 7, 2005, the EUB granted approval of a negotiated settlement for the
Alberta System's 2005-2007 Revenue Requirement. As stipulated in the settlement,
following the approval of the settlement, TCPL withdrew its motion filed with
the Alberta Court of Appeal for leave to appeal Decision 2004-069 which dealt
with Phase I of the 2004 General Rate Application (GRA). TCPL also agreed that
it would not pursue a review and variance application on the EUB's findings
regarding incentive compensation and long-term incentive costs.
TCPL will continue to charge interim tolls for 2005 for transportation service
on the Alberta System. The interim tolls, approved by the EUB in December 2004,
will remain in effect until final tolls are established following the Phase II
proceeding of the Alberta System's 2005 GRA. In this second phase of the EUB's
rate making process, the allocation of 2005 approved costs among transportation
services and rate design are determined. The EUB has scheduled a hearing for
Phase II during fourth quarter 2005.

Other Gas Transmission
Tamazunchale Pipeline Project
In June 2005, Mexico's Comision Federal de Eletricidad (CFE) awarded a contract
to TCPL to construct, own and operate a 36 inch, 125 kilometre natural gas
pipeline in east central Mexico. The Tamazunchale Pipeline will extend from the
facilities of Pemex Gas near Naranjos, Veracruz and transport natural gas under
a 26 year contract with the CFE to an electricity generation station near
Tamazunchale, San Luis Potosi. This approximately US$181 million project will
initially transport volumes of 170 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d). Under
the terms of the contract, the capacity of the Tamazunchale Pipeline will be
expanded to 430 mmcf/d commencing in 2009 to meet additional requirements of two
additional proposed power plants near Tamazunchale. TCPL has commenced project
and construction activities with a planned in-service date of December 1, 2006.
Iroquois
In June 2005, TCPL closed the acquisition of a 3.52 per cent ownership interest
in Iroquois from a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs & Co. for US$13.6 million,
subject to post-closing adjustments. This acquisition increased TCPL's
ownership interest in Iroquois from 40.96 per cent to 44.48 per cent.

USGen New England, Inc.
On April 1, 2005, TCPL closed its acquisition of hydroelectric generation
assets, with total generating capacity of 567 megawatts (MW), from USGen for
US$505 million, subject to closing adjustments.
There was an existing agreement in place between the Town of Rockingham (the
Town) and USGen which provided the Town with an option to purchase the 49MW
Bellows Falls facility for US$72 million. The option was exercised in December
2004 and the Town assigned its rights and obligations under the option agreement
to the Vermont Hydroelectric Power Authority (Vermont Hydroelectric). TCPL
assumed the obligations of USGen under the
23
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
option on April 1, 2005. Although the option was exercised, closing remains
subject to certain regulatory approvals as well as other conditions specified in
the option agreement. The Vermont Public Service Board issued its approval in
June 2005, which approval was conditioned on a further vote of Town residents in
which at least a majority of the votes cast had to approve the transaction. On
July 12, 2005, the vote took place but did not achieve the requisite majority.
That rejection does not, of itself, terminate the option. The Town is scheduled
to have another vote on this matter in August 2005.
Power LP
In May 2005, TCPL announced that it had entered into an agreement with EPCOR
Utilities Inc. (EPCOR) whereby EPCOR will purchase TCPL's interest in Power LP
for $529 million. EPCOR's acquisition includes 14.5 million units of Power LP,
representing 30.6 per cent of the outstanding units; 100 per cent ownership of
the General Partner of Power LP; and management and operations' agreements
governing the ongoing operation of Power LP's generation assets.
The Boards of Directors of each of TCPL, EPCOR and Power LP have approved this
transaction. This transaction is expected to close in third quarter 2005 pending
receipt of regulatory approvals. TCPL expects to realize an after-tax gain of
approximately $200 million from this sale. TCPL will continue to operate and
maintain Power LP's power plants until closing.
Paiton Energy
In June 2005, TCPL reached an agreement to sell its approximate 11 per cent
interest in Paiton Energy to subsidiaries of The Tokyo Electric Power Company
for US$103 million ($127 million), subject to adjustments. TCPL originally
purchased its interest in Paiton Energy in 1996. Paiton Energy owns two 615
megawatt coal-fired plants in East Java, Indonesia. Pending various approvals,
this transaction is expected to close in third quarter 2005. Upon closing, TCPL
expects to realize an after-tax gain of approximately $115 million.
Other
On June 1, 2005, Gas Transmission Northwest Corporation (GTNC) redeemed all of
its outstanding US$150 million 7.80 per cent Senior Unsecured Debentures
(Debentures) and US$250 million 7.10 per cent Senior Unsecured Notes. As a
consequence, upon application by GTNC, the Debentures were de-listed from the
New York Stock Exchange and GTNC no longer has any securities registered under
U.S. securities laws.
24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On June 1, 2005, GTNC completed a US$400 million multi-tranche private placement
of senior debt with a weighted average interest rate of 5.28 per cent and
weighted average life of approximately 18 years.
Share Information
As at June 30, 2005, TCPL had 483,344,109 issued and outstanding common shares.
In addition, there were 4,000,000 Series U and 4,000,000 Series Y Cumulative
First Preferred Shares issued and outstanding as at June 30, 2005.

(1) The selected quarterly consolidated financial data has been prepared in
accordance with Canadian GAAP. For a discussion on the factors affecting the
comparability of the financial data, including discontinued operations, refer to
Note 1 and Note 22 of TCPL's restated 2004 audited consolidated financial
statements.
Factors Impacting Quarterly Financial Information
In the Gas Transmission business, which consists primarily of the company's
investments in regulated pipelines, annual revenues and net income from
continuing operations (net earnings) fluctuate over the long term based on
regulators' decisions and negotiated settlements with shippers. Generally,
quarter over quarter revenues and net earnings during any particular fiscal year
remain relatively stable with fluctuations arising as a result of adjustments
being recorded due to regulatory decisions and negotiated settlements with
shippers and due to items outside of the normal course of operations.
In the Power business, which consists primarily of the company's investments in
electrical power generation plants, quarter over quarter revenues and net
earnings are affected by seasonal weather conditions, customer demand, market
prices, planned and unplanned plant outages as well as items outside of the
normal course of operations.
Significant items which impacted the last eight quarters' net earnings are as
follows.
* Third quarter 2003 net earnings included TCPL's $11 million share of a
positive future income tax benefit adjustment recognized by TransGas.
1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* First quarter 2004 net earnings included approximately $12 million of
income tax refunds and related interest.
* Second quarter 2004 net earnings included after-tax gains related to Power
LP of $187 million, of which $132 million were previously deferred and were
being amortized into income to 2017.
* In third quarter 2004, the EUB's decisions on the Generic Cost of Capital
and Phase I of the 2004 GRA resulted in lower earnings for the Alberta
System compared to the previous quarters. In addition, third quarter 2004
included a $12 million after-tax adjustment related to the release of
previously established restructuring provisions and recognition of
$8 million of non-capital loss carry forwards.
* In fourth quarter 2004, TCPL completed the acquisition of GTN and recorded
$14 million of net earnings from the November 1, 2004 acquisition date.
Power recorded a $16 million pre-tax positive impact of a restructuring
transaction related to power purchase contracts between OSP and Boston
Edison in Eastern Operations.
* In first quarter 2005, net earnings included a $48 million after-tax gain
related to the sale of PipeLines LP units. Power earnings included a $10
million after-tax cost for the restructuring of natural gas supply
contracts by OSP. In addition, Bruce Power's equity income was lower
than previous quarters due to the impact of planned maintenance outages and
the increase in operating costs as a result of moving to a six-unit
operation.
* Second quarter 2005 net earnings included $21 million ($13 million related
to 2004 and $8 million related to the six months ended June 30, 2005) with
respect to the NEB's decision on TCPL's 2004 Mainline Tolls and Tariff
Application (Phase II). On April 1, 2005, TCPL completed the acquisition
of hydro assets from USGen. Bruce Power's equity income was lower than
previous quarters due to the continuing impact of planned maintenance
outages and an unplanned maintenance outage on Unit 6 relating to a
transformer fire.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements of TransCanada PipeLines Limited (TCPL or
the company) have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). The accounting policies applied are consistent
with those outlined in TCPL's annual financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2004 except as stated below. These consolidated financial
statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of
operations for the respective periods. These consolidated financial statements
do not include all disclosures required in the annual financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the restated 2004 annual financial
statements. Amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current
period's presentation.
Since a determination of many assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses is
dependent upon future events, the preparation of these consolidated financial
statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions. In the opinion of
Management, these consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared
within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the
company's significant accounting policies.
2. Accounting Change
Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation
Effective January 1, 2005, the company adopted the provisions of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants amendment to the existing Handbook Section "
Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation" which provides guidance for
classifying certain financial instruments that embody obligations that may be
settled by issuance of the issuer's equity shares as debt when the instrument
does not establish an ownership relationship. In accordance with this
amendment, TCPL reclassified the non-controlling interest component of preferred
securities as long-term debt.
This accounting change was applied retroactively with restatement of prior
periods. The impact of this change on TCPL's net income in second quarter 2005
and prior periods was nil.
The impact of the accounting change on the company's consolidated balance sheet
as at December 31, 2004 is as follows.

5. Dispositions
PipeLines LP
In March 2005, TCPL sold 3.5 million common units of TC PipeLines, LP (PipeLines
LP) for US$37.04 per unit, resulting in net proceeds to the company of
approximately $151 million and an after-tax gain of approximately $48 million.
The net gain was recorded in the Gas Transmission segment and the company
recorded a $32 million tax charge, including $50 million of current income tax
expense, on this transaction. In April 2005, underwriters purchased an
additional 74,200 common units, exercising, in part, their option to purchase up
to 525,000 additional units on the same terms and conditions as the 3.5 million
common units already sold and an additional net after-tax gain of $1 million was
recorded in the Gas Transmission segment. Subsequent to these transactions,
TCPL continues to own a 13.4 per cent interest in PipeLines LP represented by
the general partner interest of 2.0 per cent as well as an 11.4 per cent limited
partner interest.
11
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Power LP
In May 2005, TCPL announced that it had entered into an agreement with EPCOR
Utilities Inc. (EPCOR) whereby EPCOR will purchase TCPL's interest in
TransCanada Power, L.P. (Power LP) for $529 million. EPCOR's acquisition
includes 14.5 million units of Power LP, representing 30.6 per cent of the
outstanding units; 100 per cent ownership of the General Partner of Power LP;
and management and operations' agreements governing the ongoing operation of
Power LP's generation assets.
The Boards of Directors of each of TCPL, EPCOR and Power LP have approved this
transaction. This transaction is expected to close in third quarter 2005 pending
receipt of regulatory approvals. TCPL expects to realize an after-tax gain of
approximately $200 million from this sale. TCPL will continue to operate and
maintain Power LP's power plants until closing.
Paiton Energy
In June 2005, TCPL reached an agreement to sell its approximate 11 per cent
interest in PT Paiton Energy Company (Paiton Energy) to subsidiaries of The
Tokyo Electric Power Company for US$103 million ($127 million), subject to
adjustments. TCPL originally purchased its interest in Paiton Energy in 1996.
Paiton Energy owns two 615 megawatt coal-fired plants in East Java, Indonesia.
Pending various approvals, this transaction is expected to close in third
quarter 2005. Upon closing, TCPL expects to realize an after-tax gain of
approximately $115 million.

--------------------
(1) In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the condensed statement of consolidated
income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated balance sheet of
TransCanada PipeLines Limited (TCPL or the company) are prepared using the
equity method of accounting for joint ventures. Excluding the impact of
other U.S. GAAP adjustments, the use of the proportionate consolidation
method of accounting for joint ventures, as required under Canadian GAAP,
results in the same net income and shareholders' equity.
(2) Other expenses included an allowance for funds used during construction of
$1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 (June 30, 2004 -
$1 million).
(3) The company records its investment in TransCanada Power L.P. (Power LP)
using the proportionate consolidation method for Canadian GAAP purposes and
as an equity investment for U.S. GAAP purposes. During the period from
1997 to April 2004, the company was obligated to fund the redemption of
Power LP units in 2017. As a result, under Canadian GAAP, TCPL accounted
for the issuance of units by Power LP to third parties as a sale of a
future net revenue stream and the resulting gains were deferred and
amortized to income over the period to 2017. The redemption obligation was
removed in April 2004 and the unamortized gains were recognized as income.
Under U.S. GAAP, any such gains in the period from 1997 to April 2004 are
characterized as dilution gains and, because the company was committed to
fund the redemption of the units, the gains are recorded, on an after-tax
basis, as equity transactions in shareholders' equity.
The company's accounting policy for dilution gains is to record them as
income for both Canadian and U.S. GAAP purposes, however, U.S. GAAP
requires such gains to be recorded directly in equity if there is a
contemplation of reacquisition of units. With the removal of the
redemption obligation in April 2004, subsequent issuances of units by Power
LP are accounted for as dilution gains in
3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
income for both Canadian and U.S. GAAP purposes.
(4) All foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives are recorded in the
company's consolidated financial statements at fair value under Canadian
GAAP. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivatives and
Hedging Activities", all derivatives are recognized as assets and
liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. For
derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value are
recognized in earnings together with an equal or lesser amount of changes
in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. For
derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of
the derivatives that are effective in offsetting the hedged risk are
recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is
recognized in earnings. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value
is recognized in earnings each period. Substantially all of the amounts
recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 as differences
between U.S. and Canadian GAAP, for net income, relate to the differences
in accounting treatment with respect to the hedged items and, for
comprehensive income, relate to cash flow hedges.
(5) Substantially all of the amounts recorded in the six months ended June 30,
2005 and 2004 as differences between U.S. and Canadian GAAP in respect of
energy contracts relate to gains and losses on derivative energy contracts
for periods before they were documented as hedges for purposes of U.S.
GAAP and to differences in accounting with respect to physical energy
trading contracts in the U.S. and Canada.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(6) Under Canadian GAAP, pre-operating costs incurred during the commissioning
phase of a new project are deferred until commercial production levels are
achieved. After such time, those costs are amortized over the estimated
life of the project. Under U.S. GAAP, such costs are expensed as incurred.
Certain start-up costs incurred by Bruce Power L.P. (an equity investment)
are required to be expensed under U.S. GAAP. Under both Canadian GAAP and
U.S. GAAP, interest is capitalized on expenditures relating to construction
of development projects actively being prepared for their intended use. In
Bruce Power, L.P., under U.S. GAAP, the carrying value of development
projects against which interest is capitalized is lower due to the
expensing of pre-operating costs.
(7) Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" requires that a
deferred tax liability be recognized for an excess of the amount for
financial reporting over the tax basis of an investment in a 50 per cent or
less owned investee.
(8) Financial Interpretation (FIN) 45 requires the recognition of a liability
for the fair value of certain guarantees that require payments contingent
on specified types of future events. The measurement standards of FIN 45
are applicable to guarantees entered into after January 1, 2003. For U.S.
GAAP purposes, the fair value of guarantees recorded as a liability at June
30, 2005 was $9 million (December 31, 2004 - $9 million) and relates to the
company's equity interest in Bruce Power L.P.
(9) Under U.S. GAAP, the company is required to record a deferred income tax
liability for its cost-of-service regulated businesses. As these deferred
income taxes are recoverable through future revenues, a corresponding
regulatory asset is recorded for U.S. GAAP purposes.
(10) Current liabilities at June 30, 2005 include dividends payable of $154
million (December 31, 2004 - $146 million) and current taxes payable of
$194 million (December 31, 2004 - $260 million).
(11) The fair value of the preferred securities at June 30, 2005 was $589
million (December 31, 2004 - $572 million). The company made preferred
securities charges payments of $24 million for the six months ended June
30, 2005 (June 30, 2004 - $24 million).

The securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories
of Canada
July 29, 2005
Dear Sirs
TransCanada PipeLines Limited (the "Company")
We refer to the short-form base shelf prospectus of the Company dated December
21, 2004 relating to the sale of up to $1,500,000,000 Medium Term Note
Debentures of the Company (the "Prospectus").
We are the auditors of the Company and under date of February 28, 2005 except as
to note 23 which is as of July 28, 2005, we reported on the following revised
financial statements incorporated by reference in the Prospectus:
* Consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003;
and
* Consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004.
Also incorporated by reference in the Prospectus are the following unaudited
interim financial statements, which have been filed with the securities
regulatory authorities:
* Consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2005;
* Consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004; and
* Consolidated statements of retained earnings for the six-months ended June
30, 2005 and 2004.
We have not audited any financial statements of the Company as at any date or
for any period subsequent to December 31, 2004. Although we have performed an
audit for the year ended December 31, 2004, the purpose and therefore the scope
of the audit was to enable us to express our opinion on the consolidated
financial statements as at December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended, but
not on the financial statements for any interim period within that year.
Therefore, we are unable to and do not express an opinion on the above-mentioned
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements or on the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows as at any date or for any period
subsequent to December 31, 2004.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have, however, performed a review of the unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements of the Company as at June 30, 2005 and for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. We performed our review in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted standards for a review of interim
financial statements by an entity's auditors. Such an interim review consists
principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making
inquiries of, and having discussions with, persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. An interim review is substantially less in scope than an
audit, whose objective is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements. An interim review does not provide assurance that we would become
aware of any, or all, significant matters that might be identified in an audit.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modification that needs to
be made for these interim consolidated financial statements to be in accordance
with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
This letter is provided solely for the purpose of assisting the securities
regulatory authority to which it is addressed in discharging its
