and MD&A, the “Interim Filings”) pursuant to section 5.1 of National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings and Section 4.4(b) of NI 51- 102.
The Corporation’s management and other insiders are subject to a trading black-out policy that reflects the principles in section 9 of National Policy 11-207 Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions until both the Annual and Interim Filings have been completed.
