Commission Fees for Warrants

I recall hearing somewhere that the commission fees associated with trading warrants can vary widely from one discount brokerage to another.

I can't find a distinct commission fee schedule for warrants at BMO InvestorLine but by just trying some fake orders, it looks as though their fees are the same as for stocks.
Any InvestorLine customers out there with warrant trading experience that can confirm this?

Also, what are the fees associated with warrants at other discount brokers?

Thanks!

Returns of its Hancock Agricultural Investment Group, which buys farmland properties and manages them or leases land to farmers, leaped 37.4 per cent last year after a 21.4-per-cent return in 2004, outstripping even the stellar performance of the S&P/TSX composite index.

Amex Confirms First U.S. Oil ETF Launching Next Week

03-29-06 11:55 AM EST

BOSTON (Dow Jones) -- The American Stock Exchange confirmed Wednesday press reports that it plans to introduce the first U.S.-listed oil exchange-traded fund next week.

The ETF, called United States Oil Fund LP, will be launched on Monday and trade under the symbol "USO." It will be managed by commodity-pool operator Victoria Bay Asset Management LLC, according to a bell-ringing ceremony invitation sent to journalists by the Amex.

The fund is designed to track crude-oil prices by investing in energy derivative instruments.

The ETF would represent the first time individual investors would have a convenient, liquid vehicle for taking positions in crude oil itself, rather than investing in the shares of energy companies or mutual funds......
