Canada which incorporates International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting

and making significant accounting judgments and estimates. Management is also responsible for all other financial

where appropriate, with the information contained in the consolidated financial statements.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting which
includes those policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance over the safeguarding of assets and over
the completeness, fairness and accuracy of the consolidated financial statements and other financial information.

integrity of the Corporation's financial reporting and provides its recommendations in respect of the approval of the
financial statements to the Board of Directors; oversees management's responsibilities as to the adequacy of the
supporting systems of internal controls; provides oversight of the independence, qualifications and appointment of the

external auditors at least four times each year to review and discuss financial reporting, disclosures, auditing and other
matters.

statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and express their opinion thereon.
