Form 40–F (17 CFR 249.240f) is used
by certain Canadian issuers to register
securities pursuant to Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Exchange Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 78l ) or as
an annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (15
U.S.C. 78m(a) or 78o(d)). The
information required under cover of
Form 40–F can be used by security
holders, investors, broker-dealers,
investment banking firms, professional
securities analysts and others in
evaluating securities and making
investment decisions with respect to
securities of certain Canadian
companies. Form 40–F takes
approximately 427 hours per response
and is filed by approximately 205
rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES

total reporting burden of 21,884 (106.75
hours per response × 205 responses).
