        For information on management's internal control over financial

financial statements on page 70, the section entitled "Management's Annual
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting" under the heading "Controls
and Procedures" in Management's Discussion and Analysis on page 62 of TCPL's
Management's Discussion and Analysis and Audited Consolidated Financial
Statements, and Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
filed as document 13.5.

over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 has been audited by TCPL's
independent auditors, KPMG LLP, a registered public accounting firm, as stated

        The Registrant undertakes to make available, in person or by telephone,
representatives to respond to inquiries made by the staff of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), and to furnish promptly, when
requested to do so by the Commission staff, information relating to: the
securities registered pursuant to Form 40-F; the securities in relation to which
the obligation to file an Annual Report on Form 40-F arises; or transactions in
said securities.

                       DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management's Discussion and Analysis and Audited Consolidated Financial
Statements.

                        AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

        The Registrant's board of directors has determined that it has at least
one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Mr. Harry
G. Schaefer has been designated an audit committee financial expert and is
independent, as that term is defined by the New York Stock Exchange's listing
standards applicable to the Registrant. The Commission has indicated that the
designation of Mr. Schaefer as an audit committee financial expert does not make
Mr. Schaefer an "expert" for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations or
liability on Mr. Schaefer that are greater than those imposed on members of the
audit committee and board of directors who do not carry this designation or
affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit
committee.

Controller and its directors. The Registrant's codes are available on its
website at www.transcanada.com. There has been no waiver of the codes granted
during the 2006 fiscal year.

        The nature of each category of fees is described below.

Audit Fees

        Audit fees were incurred for professional services rendered by the
auditors for the audit of the TransCanada group of companies' annual financial
statements or services provided in connection with statutory and regulatory
filings or engagements, the review of interim consolidated financial statements
and information contained in various prospectuses and other offering documents.

Audit-Related Fees

        Audit-related fees were incurred for the audit of the financial
statements of the Registrant's certain pension plans.

Tax Fees

        Tax fees were primarily incurred for tax compliance and tax advice.
These services consisted of: tax compliance including the review of Canadian and
US income tax returns and tax items and tax services related to domestic and
international taxation including income tax, capital tax and Goods and Services
Tax.

All Other Fees

        Fees disclosed in the table above under the item "all other fees" were
incurred for services other than the audit fees, audit-related fees and tax fees
described above. These services consisted of advice with regards to compliance
with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

        TCPL's Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy with respect to
permitted non-audit services. Under the policy, the Audit Committee has granted
pre-approval for specified non-audit services. For engagements of $25,000 CDN or
less which are not within the annual pre-approved limit approval by the Audit
Committee is not required, and for engagements between $25,000 CDN and $100,000
CDN, approval of the Audit Committee Chair is required, and the Audit Committee
is to be informed of the engagement at the next scheduled Audit Committee
meeting. For all engagements of $100,000 CDN or more, pre-approval of the Audit
Committee is required. In all cases, regardless of dollar amount involved, where
there is a potential for conflict of interest involving the external auditor on
an engagement, the Audit Committee Chair must pre-approve the assignment.

        To date, TCPL has not approved any non-audit services on the basis of
the de-minimis exemptions. All non-audit services have been pre-approved by the
Audit Committee in accordance with the pre-approval policy described above.

                         OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

        The Registrant has no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in this
Form, other than the guarantees described in Note 22 of the Notes to the Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements attached to this Form 40-F and incorporated
herein by reference.

                 TABULAR DISCLOSURE OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

which have had an influence on that development, are described below.

        Safety Commission.

Regulatory Matters
*
    January 2006. TCPL, on behalf of the Broadwater Energy project, filed an
    application with the FERC for approval of the LNG regasification project to
    be located in Long Island Sound, New York. The United States Coast Guard
    issued a report which determined that the waterways associated with the
    project are suitable if additional measures are implemented to manage the
    safety and security risks associated with the project. Broadwater's
    application to the New York Department of State for a determination that the
    project is consistent with New York's coastal zone policies was deemed
    complete by the state in November of 2006. Also in November, the FERC issued
    a statement which concludes that with strict adherence to federal and state
    permit requirements and regulations, and Broadwater's proposed mitigation
    measures and the FERC's recommendations, the Broadwater project will not
    result in significant impacts to the environment; and


*
    December 2006. A public hearing on the Cacouna Energy LNG facility in
    Cacouna, Quebec (the "Cacouna Energy Project") was held in May and June of
    2006 and in December 2006 the Minister of the Environment for Quebec and the
    federal Minister of the Environment, jointly released the report of the
    Joint Commission on the Cacouna Energy Project. The report has several
    recommendations and opinions but overall, in management's view, appears to
    be favourable to the project. TCPL continues to work towards gaining
    regulatory approval and provided the necessary approvals are obtained, the
    facility is anticipated to be in service sometime in 2010.

Regulation

Canada

CANADIAN MAINLINE

Under the terms of the National Energy Board Act (Canada), the Canadian Mainline
and B.C. and Foothills Systems are regulated by the NEB. The NEB sets tolls
which provide TCPL the opportunity to recover projected costs of transporting
natural gas, including the return on the Canadian Mainline's and B.C. and
Foothills System's average investment base. In addition, new facilities are
approved by the NEB before construction begins and the NEB regulates the
operation of the Canadian Mainline and B.C. and Foothills Systems. Net earnings
of the Canadian Mainline and B.C. and Foothills Systems may be affected by
changes in investment base, the allowed return on equity, the level of deemed
common equity and any incentive earnings.

ALBERTA SYSTEM

The Alberta System is regulated by the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board
("EUB") primarily under the provisions of the Gas Utilities Act ("GUA") and the
Pipeline Act. Under the GUA, the Alberta System rates, tolls and other charges,
and terms and conditions of services are subject to approval by the EUB. Under
the provisions of the Pipeline Act, the EUB oversees various matters including
the economic, orderly and efficient development of pipeline facilities, the
operation and abandonment of the facilities and certain related pollution and
environmental conservation issues. In addition to requirements under the
Pipeline Act, the construction and operation of natural gas pipelines in Alberta
are subject to certain provisions of other provincial legislation such as the
Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act.

United States

TCPL's wholly-owned and partially owned U.S. pipelines, including ANR System,
Gas Transmission Northwest System, Great Lakes System, Iroquois System, Portland
System, NBPL System, North Baja System and Tuscarora System, are 'natural gas
companies' operating under the provisions of the Natural Gas Act of 1938 and the
Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, and are subject to the jurisdiction of the FERC.
The Natural Gas Act of 1938 grants the FERC authority over the construction and
operation of pipelines and related facilities. The FERC also has authority to
regulate rates for natural gas transportation and interstate commerce.

GAS TRANSMISSION NORTHWEST SYSTEM AND NORTH BAJA SYSTEM

Rates and tariffs of the Gas Transmission Northwest System and the North Baja
System have been approved by the FERC. These two systems operate under fixed
rate models, whereby rates for various service types have been approved by the
FERC and under which each of the two systems is permitted to discount or
negotiate rates on a non-discriminatory basis. Currently effective rates for
mainline capacity on the Gas Transmission Northwest System went into effect on
January 1, 2007, following Gas Transmission Northwest System's filing of a
general rate case in June 2006 under Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act of 1938.
Gas Transmission Northwest System's current rates were accepted for filing by
the FERC, subject to refund. Refunds, with interest, may be due following
approval of final rates by the FERC. Gas Transmission Northwest System's
previously effective rates, which remained in effect through December 31, 2006,
were established through a 1994 rate proceeding which culminated in a settlement
that was approved by the FERC in 1996. Rates for capacity on the North Baja
System were established in the FERC's initial order certificating construction
and operations of its system.

PORTLAND SYSTEM

In 2003, the Portland System received final approval from the FERC of its
general rate case under the Natural Gas Act of 1938. The Portland System is
required to file a general rate case under the Natural Gas Act of 1938 with a
proposed effective date of April 1, 2008.

Other Interests

Cancarb Limited

TCPL owns Cancarb Limited, a world scale thermal carbon black manufacturing
facility located in Medicine Hat, Alberta.

TransCanada Turbines

TCPL owns a 50 per cent interest in TransCanada Turbines Ltd., a repair and
overhaul business for aero-derivative industrial gas turbines. This business
operates primarily out of facilities in Calgary, Alberta, with offices in
Bakersfield, California; East Windsor, Connecticut; and Liverpool, England.

TransCanada Calibrations

TCPL owns an 80 per cent interest in TransCanada Calibrations Ltd., a gas meter
calibration business certified by Measurement Canada, located at Ile des Chenes,
Manitoba.

HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

TCPL is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for its employees,
contractors, the public and to the protection of the environment. Health, safety
and environment ("HS&E") is a priority in all of TCPL's operations. The HS&E
Committee of TCPL's Board of Directors ("Board") monitors conformance with the
TCPL HS&E corporate policy through regular reporting provided by TCPL's
department of Community, Safety & Environment. TCPL's senior executives are also
committed to ensuring TCPL is in conformance with its policies and regulated
requirements and is an industry leader. Senior executives are regularly advised
of all important operational issues and initiatives relating to HS&E by way of
formal reporting processes. TCPL's HS&E management system and performance are
assessed by an independent outside firm every three years or more often if the
HS&E Committee requests it. The most recent assessment was conducted in November
 2006 by Det Norsk Veritas. These assessments involve senior executive and
employee interviews, review of policies, procedures, objectives, performance
measurement and reporting.

 TCPL's HS&E management system is modeled to the elements of the International
Organization for Standardization's (ISO) standard for environmental management
systems, ISO 14001. The HS&E management system facilitates the focus of
resources on the areas of significant risk to the organization's HS&E business
activities. The system highlights opportunities for improvement, enables TCPL to
work towards defined HS&E expectations and objectives, and provides a
competitive business advantage. Independent third party assessments, internal
management system assessments and work place and facility planned inspections
are used to evaluate the implementation effectiveness of the HS&E programs,
processes and procedures, and confirms TCPL's compliance with regulatory
requirements.

12 TRANSCANADA PIPELINES LIMITED



 TCPL employs full-time staff dedicated to HS&E matters, and incorporates HS&E
policies and principles into the planning, development, construction and
operation of all its projects. Environmental protection requirements have not
had a material impact on the capital expenditures of TCPL to date. However,
there can be no assurance that such requirements will not have a material impact
on TCPL's financial or operating results in future years. Such requirements can
be dependent on a variety of factors including the regulatory environment in
which TCPL operates.

Environment

Climate change remains a serious issue for TCPL. The change of government in
Canada in early 2006 resulted in a shift of focus from meeting environmental
regulation targets to a broader emphasis on clean air as well as greenhouse gas
emissions. The government of Canada released the Clean Air Act on October 19,
2006. At this time, however, the policy framework for the new regulations has
not been released by the federal government and detailed sectoral targets and
timeframes as well as compliance options have not been set. At a provincial
level, the Quebec government has passed legislation for a hydrocarbon royalty on
industrial greenhouse gas emitters. The details as to how the royalty will be
applied have not yet been determined but it is expected these details will be
set in the coming year. In Alberta, the government has indicated it will
continue with its own plan for implementing regulations to manage greenhouse gas
emissions. It is yet to be determined how this effort will tie into a federal
program.

 In the United States, state level initiatives are under way to limit greenhouse
gas emissions, particularly in the north-eastern United States and California.
Details have not been finalized and the impact to TCPL's United States based
assets is uncertain.

 Despite this uncertainty, TCPL continues with its programs to manage greenhouse
gas emissions from its assets, and to evaluate new processes and technologies
that result in improved efficiencies and lower greenhouse gas emissions rates.
In addition, TCPL remains involved in policy discussions in those jurisdictions
where policy development is under way and where the Company has operations.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND REGULATORY ACTIONS

The Canadian Alliance of Pipeline Landowners' Association (CAPLA) and two
individual landowners commenced an action in 2003 under Ontario's Class
Proceedings Act, 1992, against TCPL and Enbridge Inc. for damages of $500
million alleged to arise from the creation of a control zone within 30 metres of
the pipeline pursuant to Section 112 of the National Energy Board Act. On
November 20, 2006, the Ontario Superior Court granted the motion of TCPL and
Enbridge Inc. for a dismissal of the case. CAPLA has now appealed the decision.
TCPL continues to believe the claim is without merit and will vigorously defend
the action. TCPL has made no provision for any potential liability. Any
liability, if any, would be dealt with through the regulatory process.

 TCPL and its subsidiaries are subject to various other legal proceedings and
actions arising in the normal course of business. While the final outcome of
such legal proceedings and actions cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the
opinion of TCPL's management that the resolution of such proceedings and actions
will not have a material impact on TCPL's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

TCPL's transfer agent and registrar is Computershare Trust Company of Canada
with transfer facilities in the Canadian cities of Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg,
Toronto, Montreal and Halifax.

INTEREST OF EXPERTS

Our auditors, KPMG LLP, have confirmed that they are independent within the
meaning of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of Alberta.

RISK FACTORS

A discussion of the Company's risk factors can be found in the MD&A for the year
ended December 31, 2006, which is incorporated by reference, under the headings
"Pipelines - Opportunities and Developments", "Pipelines - Business Risks",
"Energy - Opportunities and Developments", "Energy - Business Risks" and "Risks
and Risk Management".

DIVIDENDS

All of TCPL's common shares are held by TransCanada and as a result, any
dividends declared by TCPL on its common shares are paid to TransCanada. TCPL's
Board of Directors has not adopted a formal dividend policy. The Board reviews
the financial performance of TCPL quarterly and makes a determination of the
appropriate level of dividends to be declared on its common shares in the
following quarter. Provisions of various trust indentures and credit
arrangements to which TCPL is a party, restrict TCPL's ability to declare and
pay dividends to TransCanada and preferred shareholders under certain
circumstances and, if such restrictions apply, they may, in turn, have an impact
on TransCanada's ability to declare and pay dividends on its common and
preferred shares. In the opinion of TCPL management, such provisions do not
currently restrict or alter TCPL's ability to declare or pay dividends.

 The dividends declared per common share during the past three completed
financial years are set forth in the following table.
                                                                              2006              2005              2004

    Effective May 15, 2003, TCPL dividends have been declared in an amount equal
    to the aggregate dividend paid by TransCanada. The amounts presented reflect
    the aggregate amount divided by the total outstanding common shares of TCPL.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE

Share Capital

TCPL's authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common
shares, of which 483,344,109 were issued and outstanding at Year End, and an
unlimited number of first preferred shares and second preferred shares, issuable
in series. There were 4,000,000 Series U and 4,000,000 Series Y first preferred
shares issued and outstanding at Year End. The following is a description of the
material characteristics of each of these classes of shares.

Common Shares

As the holder of all of TCPL's common shares, TransCanada holds all the voting
rights in those common shares.

First Preferred Shares, Series U

Subject to certain limitations, the Board may, from time to time, issue first
preferred shares in one or more series and determine for any such series, its
designation, number of shares and respective rights, privileges, restrictions
and conditions. The first preferred shares as a class, have, among others,
provisions to the following effect.

 The holders of the first preferred shares, Series U are entitled to receive as
and when declared by the Board, fixed cumulative preferential cash dividends at
an annual rate of $2.80 per share, payable quarterly.

 The first preferred shares of each series shall rank on a parity with the first
preferred shares of every other series, and shall be entitled to preference over
the common shares and any other shares ranking junior to the first preferred
shares with respect to the payment of dividends, the repayment of capital and
the distribution of assets to TCPL in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of TCPL.

14 TRANSCANADA PIPELINES LIMITED



 TCPL is entitled to purchase for cancellation, some or all of the first
preferred shares, Series U outstanding at the lowest price which such shares are
obtainable, in the opinion of the Board, but not exceeding $50.00 per share plus
costs of purchase. Furthermore, TCPL may redeem, on or after October 15, 2013,
some or all of the first preferred shares, Series U upon payment for each share
at $50.00 per share.

 Except as provided by the Canada Business Corporations Act or as referred to
below, the holders of the first preferred shares will not have any voting rights
nor will they be entitled to receive notice of or to attend shareholders'
meetings unless and until TCPL fails to pay, in the aggregate, six quarterly
dividends on the first preferred shares, Series U.

 The provisions attaching to the first preferred shares as a class may be
modified, amended or varied only with the approval of the holders of the first
preferred shares as a class. Any such approval to be given by the holders of the
first preferred shares may be given by the affirmative vote of the holders of
not less than 662/3 per cent of the first preferred shares represented and voted
at a meeting or adjourned meeting of such holders.

First Preferred Shares, Series Y

The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the first
preferred shares, Series Y are substantially identical to those attaching to the
first preferred shares, Series U except that the first preferred shares, Series
Y are redeemable by TCPL after March 5, 2014.

    At February 22, 2007, the DBRS rating was confirmed as stable. At December
    31, 2006, the rating was under review. Discussed further in the DBRS section
    below.

 Credit ratings are intended to provide investors with an independent measure of
credit quality of an issue of securities. Credit ratings are not recommendations
to purchase, hold or sell securities and do not address the market price or
suitability of a specific security for a particular investor. There is no
assurance that any rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or
that any rating will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency in
the future if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. A description of the
rating agencies' credit ratings listed in the table above is set out below.

Dominion Bond Rating Service (DBRS)

DBRS has different rating scales for short and long-term debt and preferred
shares. "High" or "low" grades are used to indicate the relative standing within
a rating category. The absence of either a "high" or "low" designation indicates
the rating is in the "middle" of the category. The R-1 (low) rating assigned to
TCPL's short-term debt is the third highest of ten rating categories and
indicates satisfactory credit quality. The overall strength and outlook for key
liquidity, debt and profitability ratios is not normally as favourable as with
higher rating categories, but these considerations are still respectable. Any
qualifying negative factors that exist are considered manageable, and the entity
is normally of sufficient size to have some influence in its industry. The A
ratings assigned to TCPL's senior secured and senior unsecured debt and the A
(low) rating assigned to its subordinated debt are the third highest of ten
categories for long-term debt. Long-term debt rated A is of satisfactory credit
quality. Protection of interest and principal is still substantial, but the
degree of strength is less than that of AA rated entities. While a respectable
rating, entities in the A category are considered to be more susceptible to
adverse economic conditions and have greater cyclical tendencies than higher
rated entities. The Pfd-2 and Pfd-2 (low) ratings assigned to TCPL's junior
subordinated debt and preferred shares are the second highest of six rating
categories for preferred shares. Preferred shares rated Pfd-2 are of
satisfactory credit quality. Protection of dividends and principal is still
substantial; however, earnings, the balance sheet and coverage ratios are not as
strong as Pfd-1 rated companies.

 Subsequent to TransCanada's December 22, 2006 announcement of its plans to
acquire ANR, DBRS put TCPL's rating under review with developing implications.
On February 22, 2007, DBRS confirmed the rating of TCPL with a stable trend and
subsequently removed TCPL's rating from under review.

Moody's Investor Services (Moody's)

Moody's has different rating scales for short and long-term obligations.
Numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 are applied to each rating classification, with 1
 being the highest and 3 being the lowest. The P-1 rating assigned to TCPL's
short-term debt is the highest of four rating categories and indicates a
superior ability to repay short-term debt obligations. The A2 ratings assigned
to TCPL's senior secured and senior unsecured debt and the A3 ratings assigned
to its subordinated debt and junior subordinated debt are the third highest of
nine rating categories for long-term obligations. Obligations rated A are
considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk. The Baa1
rating assigned to TCPL's preferred shares is the fourth highest of nine rating
categories for long-term obligations. Obligations rated Baa are subject to
moderate credit risk, are considered medium-grade, and as such, may possess
certain speculative characteristics.

Standard & Poor's (S&P)

S&P has different rating scales for short and long-term obligations. Ratings may
be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show the relative
standing within a particular rating category. The A and A- ratings assigned to
TCPL's senior secured and senior unsecured debt, respectively, are the third
highest of ten rating categories for long-term obligations. An A rating
indicates the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment is strong;
however, the obligation is somewhat susceptible to the adverse effects of
changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher
rated categories. The BBB+ rating assigned to TCPL's subordinated debt and the
BBB ratings assigned to its junior subordinated debt and preferred shares are
the fourth highest of ten rating categories for long-term obligations. An
obligation rated BBB exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse
economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a
weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board and the members of TCPL's management are committed to the highest
standards of corporate governance. TCPL's corporate governance practices comply
with the governance rules of the Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA"),
those of the NYSE applicable to foreign issuers and of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and those mandated by the United States
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX"). As a non-U.S. company, TCPL is not required
to comply with most of the NYSE corporate governance listing standards; however,
except as summarized on its website at www.transcanada.com, the governance
practices followed are in compliance with the NYSE standards for U.S. companies
in all significant respects. TCPL is in compliance with the CSA's Multilateral
Instrument 52-110 pertaining to audit committees. TCPL is also in compliance
with the CSA's National Policy 58-201, Corporate Governance Guidelines, and
National Instrument 58-101, Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices
(collectively, the "Canadian Governance Guidelines"). In 2005, the Canadian
Governance Guidelines came into effect and for purposes of the TSX replaced the
TSX Corporate Governance Guidelines. Further information about TCPL's corporate
governance can be found on TransCanada's website under the heading "Corporate
Governance".

Compliance with Canadian Governance Guidelines

The "Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices" addressing disclosure in
accordance with the Canadian Governance Guidelines is attached to this AIF at
Schedule "B". It has been approved by the Governance Committee and the Board.

Audit Committee

TCPL has an Audit Committee which is responsible for assisting the Board in
overseeing the integrity of TCPL's financial statements and compliance with
legal and regulatory requirements and in ensuring the independence and
performance of TCPL's internal and external auditors. The members of the Audit
Committee at Year End were Harry G. Schaefer (Chair), Kevin E. Benson, Derek H.
Burney, Paule Gauthier, Paul L. Joskow and John A. MacNaughton. Mr. Jackson is a
non-voting member of the Audit Committee.

 The Board believes that the composition of the Audit Committee reflects a high
level of financial literacy and expertise. Each member of the Audit Committee
has been determined by the Board to be "independent" and "financially literate"
within the meaning of the definitions under Canadian and U.S. securities laws
and the NYSE rules. In addition, the Board has determined that Mr. Schaefer is
an "Audit Committee Financial Expert" as that term is defined under U.S.
securities laws. The Board has made these determinations based on the education
and breadth and depth of experience of each member of the Audit Committee. The
following is a description of the education and experience,

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

TCPL's Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy with respect to
permitted non-audit services. Under the policy, the Audit Committee has granted
pre-approval for specified non-audit services. For engagements of $25,000 or
less which are not within the annual pre-approved limit, approval by the Audit
Committee is not required, and for engagements between $25,000 and $100,000,
approval of the Audit Committee Chair is required, and the Audit Committee is to
be informed of the engagement at the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting. For
all engagements of $100,000 or more, pre-approval of the Audit Committee is
required. In all cases, regardless of the dollar amount involved, where there is
a potential for conflict of interest involving the external auditor to arise on
an engagement, the Audit Committee Chair must pre-approve the assignment.

 To date, TCPL has not approved any non-audit services on the basis of the
de-minimis exemptions. All non-audit services have been pre-approved by the
Audit Committee in accordance with the pre-approval policy described above.

Conflicts of Interest

Directors and officers of TCPL and its subsidiaries are required to disclose the
existence of existing or potential conflicts in accordance with TCPL policies
governing directors and officers and in accordance with the Canada Business
Corporations Act. Although some of the directors sit on boards or may be
otherwise associated with companies that ship natural gas on TCPL's pipeline
systems, TCPL as a common carrier in Canada cannot, under its tariff, deny
transportation service to a credit-worthy shipper. Further, due to the
specialized nature of the industry, TCPL believes that it is important for its
Board to be composed of qualified and knowledgeable directors, so some of them
must come from oil and gas producers and shippers; the Governance Committee
closely monitors relationships among directors to ensure that business
associations do not affect the Board's performance. In a circumstance where a
director declares an interest in any material contract or material transaction
being considered at a meeting, the director generally absents himself or herself
from the meeting during the consideration of the matter, and does not vote on
the matter.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

As at the date hereof and since the beginning of the most recently completed
financial year, no executive officer, director, or former executive officer or
director of TCPL or its subsidiaries, no proposed nominee as a director of TCPL,
or any associate of any such director, executive officer or proposed nominee has
been indebted to TCPL or any of its subsidiaries. There is no indebtedness of
any such person to another entity that is the subject of a guarantee, support
agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding
provided by TCPL or any of its subsidiaries.

SECURITIES OWNED BY DIRECTORS

The following table sets out the number of each class of securities of
TransCanada or any of its affiliates beneficially owned, directly or indirectly,
or over which control or direction is exercised and the number of deferred share
units credited to each director, as of February 22, 2007.

(1)
    The information as to shares beneficially owned or over which control or
    direction is exercised, not being within the knowledge of TransCanada, has
    been furnished by each of the nominees. Except as indicated in these notes,
    the nominees have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the
    securities listed above. As to each class of shares of TransCanada, its
    subsidiaries and affiliates, the percentage of outstanding shares
    beneficially owned by any one director or nominee or by all directors and
    officers of TransCanada as a group does not exceed 1% of the class
    outstanding.


(2)
    The value of a deferred share unit is tied to the value of TransCanada's
    common shares. A deferred share unit is a bookkeeping entry, equivalent to
    the value of a TransCanada common share, and does not entitle the holder to
    voting or other shareholder rights, other than the accrual of additional
    deferred share units for the value of dividends. A director cannot redeem
    deferred share units until the director ceases to be a member of the Board.
    Canadian directors can then redeem their units for cash or shares while U.S.
     directors can only redeem their units for cash. Mr. Kvisle is an employee
    of TransCanada and participates is the ESU program; he does not participate
    in the DSU program.


(3)
    The shares listed include 2,500 shares held by Mr. Hawkins' wife.


(4)
    Securities owned, controlled or directed include common shares that Mr.
    Kvisle has a right to acquire through the exercise of stock options that are
    vested under the Stock Option Plan, which is described elsewhere in this
    AIF. Directors as such do not participate in the Stock Option Plan. Mr.
    Kvisle, as an employee of TransCanada, has the right to acquire 474,500
    common shares under vested stock options, which amount is included in this
    column.


(5)
    The shares listed do not include 700 common shares held by Mr. Schaefer's
    wife and 5,500 common shares held by a company controlled by Mr. Schaefer's
    wife. Mr. Schaefer disclaims beneficial ownership of, or control or
    direction over, such shares.


(6)
    The shares listed include 500 shares held by Mr. Stewart's wife.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Unless as otherwise defined in the following sections, all capitalized terms
used from herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in TransCanada's
Management Proxy Circular (the "Proxy Circular"), dated February 22, 2007.

 TransCanada's directors also serve as directors of TCPL. An aggregate fee is
paid for serving on the Boards of TransCanada and TCPL. Since TransCanada does
not hold any assets directly, other than the common shares of TCPL and
receivables from certain of TransCanada's subsidiaries, all directors' costs are
assumed by TCPL according to a management services agreement between the two
companies. The meetings of the boards and committees of TransCanada and TCPL run
concurrently.

Minimum Share Ownership Guidelines

The Board believes that directors can more effectively represent the interests
of shareholders if they have a significant investment in the common shares of
TransCanada, or their economic equivalent. As a result, TransCanada requires
each director (other than Mr. Kvisle who is subject to executive share ownership
guidelines) to acquire and hold a minimum number of common shares, or their
economic equivalent, equal in value to five times the director's annual cash
retainer fee. Directors have a maximum of five years to reach this level of
ownership. The level of ownership can be achieved by direct purchase of common
shares, by participation in the TransCanada Dividend Reinvestment Plan or by
means of directing cash retainer fees (or any other fees subsequent to January
1, 2007) into, or otherwise acquiring deferred share units ("DSUs") under, the
Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors (1998) (the "DSU Plan"), described
under the heading "Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors" below.

 All of the current directors have achieved the minimum share ownership.

Board and Committee Remuneration

TCPL's director compensation practices are designed to reflect the size and
complexity of TCPL and to reinforce the emphasis TCPL places on shareholder
value by linking a portion of directors' compensation to the value of
TransCanada's common shares. The market competitiveness of director compensation
is assessed against the Comparator Group (as defined under the heading
"Executive Compensation and Other Information - Report on Executive
Compensation") and a general industry sample of Canadian companies of similar
size and scope to TCPL.

 For the financial year ended December 31, 2006, each director who was not an
employee of TCPL, other than the Chair, was paid in quarterly installments in
arrears as follows:
Retainer fee                                  $30,000 per annum
Committee retainer fee                        $3,000 per annum
Committee Chair retainer fee                  $4,000 per annum
Board and Committee attendance fee            $1,500 per meeting
Committee Chair attendance fee                $1,500 per meeting

 The Chair, who was paid none of the directors' fees outlined above, was paid a
retainer fee of $300,000 per annum in respect of his duties as Chair, $3,000 per
chaired Board meeting, and was reimbursed for certain office and other expenses.
Half of Mr. Jackson's retainer fee for acting as Chair was paid in DSUs. The
Vice-Chair was paid a retainer fee of $12,000 per annum in respect of his duties
as Vice-Chair, in addition to his other director's fees as outlined above. Each
committee chair is entitled to claim a per diem for time spent on committee
activities outside of the committee meetings. Additionally, directors other than
the Chair and the CEO receive, in respect of their service as directors, an
annual grant of units under the DSU Plan, see "Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee
Directors" below for details on this plan. Fees are paid quarterly and are
pro-rated from the date of the director's appointment to the Board and the
relevant committees.

 TCPL pays a travel fee of $1,500 per meeting for which round trip travel time
exceeds three hours, and reimburses the directors for out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in attending such meetings.

 Directors who are U.S. residents are paid the same amounts as outlined above in
U.S. dollars.

Fees Paid to Directors in 2006

The following table sets out the total fees paid in cash and the value of the
DSUs awarded or credited for each non-employee director in 2006 as at the date
of the grant, unless otherwise stated. Mr. Kvisle, as an employee of TCPL,
receives no cash fees or DSUs as a director.

 Directors generally direct their retainer fee to be paid in DSUs until the
minimum share ownership guideline is reached, and are always entitled to direct
their retainer fee (and, subsequent to January 1, 2007, any other fees) to be
paid in DSUs. In 2006, K.E. Benson, D.H. Burney, E.L. Draper, P. Gauthier, K.L.
Hawkins, J.A. MacNaughton and D.P. O'Brien received their retainer fees in DSUs
and half of Mr. Jackson's retainer fee for acting as Chair was paid in DSUs. For

Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors

The Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors (1998) was established in 1998
and was last amended and restated effective January 1, 2007. Prior to the
January 1, 2007 amendment, the DSU Plan allowed eligible Board members, on a
quarterly basis, to direct their annual directors' retainer fee or, at the
discretion of the Governance Committee, other Board-related fees, to acquire
units representing the right to acquire common shares or their cash equivalent.
Subsequent to January 1, 2007, Board members are permitted to elect to receive
any portion of their fees in DSUs. The DSU Plan also allows the Governance
Committee to grant units as additional directors' compensation. In September
2006, a grant of 3,000 DSUs was made to each director other than the Chair and
the CEO.

28 TRANSCANADA PIPELINES LIMITED


 Initially the value of a DSU is equal to the market value of a common share at
the time the directors are credited with the units. Thus each grant of 3,000
DSUs in September 2006 had an initial cash value of approximately $106,290. The
value of a DSU, when redeemed, is equivalent to the market value of a common
share at the time the redemption takes place. In addition, at the time dividends
are declared and paid on the common shares, each DSU accrues an amount equal to
such dividends, which amount is then reinvested in additional DSUs at a price
equal to the then market value of a common share. DSUs cannot be redeemed until
the director ceases to be a member of the Board. Canadian directors may redeem
for cash or common shares at their option. U.S. directors may only redeem for
cash.
