STATEMENT UNDER OATH REGARDING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT
FILINGS

I, J. Bruce Flatt, state and attest that:

     (1)   To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
           reports of Brascan Corporation, and, except as corrected or
           supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

            -     no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material
                  fact as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
                  the case of a report on Form 6-K, as of the date on which it
                  was filed); and

            -     no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary
                  to make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
                  circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of
                  the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case
                  of a report on Form 6-K, as of the date on which it was
                  filed).

      (2)   I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's
            audit committee.

      (3)   In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
            before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

            -     Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2001 of Brascan
                  Corporation on Form 40-F;

            -     all reports on Form 6-K of Brascan Corporation filed with the
                  Commission subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report
                  identified above; and

            -     any amendments to any of the foregoing.


/s/ J. Bruce Flatt                     Subscribed and sworn to before me this
