ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
-----------------------------------------
In accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the By-laws
of the Registrant provide that the Registrant will indemnify a present or former
director or officer of the Registrant, or a person who acts or acted at the
Registrant's request as a director or officer of another company of which the
Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his heirs and legal
representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount
paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in
respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which
he is made a party by reason of such position, provided that the director or
officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of
the Registrant and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or
proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for
believing that his conduct was lawful. Such indemnification may, with the
approval of the court, be made in connection with the procuring of a judgment in
favor of the Registrant or such other company if the conditions set forth above
have been fulfilled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a director or officer is
entitled to indemnification from the Registrant as a matter of right if he was
substantially successful on the merits in defense of the action or proceeding
and fulfilled the conditions set forth above.
A policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance is maintained
by the Registrant and its subsidiaries against liability incurred by arising
from or against them for certain of their acts, errors or omissions.
Reference is made to Item 9 for the undertakings of the Registrant with
respect to indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

the securities being registered;
23.1 Consent of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt (included in

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
-------------
A. The Registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in this Registration
Statement or any material change to such information
in this Registration Statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
B. The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Sections
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant
pursuant to existing provisions or arrangements, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
