2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
     make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such

     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for Cott Corporation and
     have:

     (a)  designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
          disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
          supervision, to ensure that material information relating to Cott
          Corporation, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
          us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
          which this quarterly report is being prepared;

     (b)  evaluated the effectiveness of Cott Corporation's disclosure controls
          and procedures and presented in this quarterly report our conclusions
          about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as
          of the end of the period covered by this report based on such
          evaluation; and

     (c)  disclosed in this quarterly report any change in Cott Corporation's
          internal control over financial reporting that occurred during Cott
          Corporation's second fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or
          is reasonably likely to materially affect, Cott Corporation's internal
          control over financial reporting; and

5.   Cott Corporation's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on
     our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
     Cott Corporation's auditors and the audit committee of Cott Corporation's
     board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

     (a)  all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
          operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
          reasonably likely to adversely affect Cott Corporation's ability to
          record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

     (b)  any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
          employees who have a significant role in Cott Corporation's internal
          control over financial reporting.
