Effect of Force Majeure  A Party relying on the provisions of section 7.01 will promptly give written notice to the other Party of the particulars of the Intervening Event and all time limits imposed by this Agreement will be extended from the date of delivery of such notice by a period equivalent to the period of delay resulting from an Intervening Event.

7.3

Obligation to Deal with Force Majeure.  A Party relying on the provisions of section 7.01 will take all reasonable steps to eliminate any Intervening Event and, if possible, will perform its obligations under this Agreement as far as commercially practical, but nothing herein will require such Party to settle or adjust any labour dispute or to question or to test the validity of any law, rule, regulation or order of any duly constituted governmental authority or to carry out its obligations under this Agreement if an Intervening Event renders completion commercially impracticable.  A Party relying on the provisions of subsection 7.01 will give written notice to the other Party as soon as such Intervening Event ceases, or is deemed to cease to, exist.
