The Audit Committee of the Management Committee of Great Lakes Energy

auditors effective November 14, 2002 and notified KPMG of its dismissal on
November 28, 2002. The Audit Committee recommended the engagement of Ernst and
Young ("E&Y") as Great Lakes' independent auditors for year ended December 31,
2002 which was approved by Great Lakes' Management Committee on November 14,
2002. E&Y accepted its appointment as Great Lakes' independent auditors on

During the two years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 and the
subsequent interim period through November 9, 2002:
(i) KPMG's reports on the financial statements of Great
Lakes have not contained an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, and have not been qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.
(ii) there were no disagreements between Great Lakes and
KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not
resolved to KPMG's satisfaction, would have caused
KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its reports;
(iii) none of the reportable events described under Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred; and
(iv) Great Lakes did not consult with E&Y regarding any of
