Item 2.

Identity and Background.

(a)-(c), (f)

This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly by (i) Broadfin Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (ii) Broadfin Healthcare Master Fund, Ltd., an exempted company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and (iii) Kevin Kotler, a United States citizen (collectively, the "Reporting Persons").

The principal business address of the Reporting Persons is 300 Park Avenue, 25 ^th Floor, New York, New York 10022.

Kevin Kotler is the managing member of Broadfin Capital, LLC, an investment management firm that serves as the investment manager to Broadfin Healthcare Master Fund, Ltd. The principal business of Broadfin Healthcare Master Fund, Ltd. is purchasing, holding and selling securities for investment purposes.

	(d)	None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The funds for the purchase of the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons came from the working capital of Broadfin Healthcare Master Fund, Ltd.

No borrowed funds were used to purchase the Shares, other than any borrowed funds used for working capital purposes (including certain leverage arrangements) in the ordinary course of business.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

	On June 14, 2016, the Issuer, QLT Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of British Columbia ("QLT") and Isotope Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of QLT ("MergerCo"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), which provides, among other things, that MergerCo will be merged with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"), with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of QLT. It is anticipated that the name of QLT will be changed to "Novelion Therapeutics Inc" ("Novelion"). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the Merger, the board of directors of Novelion will include one person designated by the Reporting Persons. Along with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain of the Reporting Persons and QLT entered into a Voting Agreement (the "Voting Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, such Reporting Persons agreed not to dispose of their Shares while the Merger is pending and to vote their Shares in favor of the Merger at the applicable meeting of the Issuer's shareholders. The Voting Agreement and the obligations of the Reporting Persons thereunder will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms, (b) the date of any material amendments, modifications, changes or waivers to any provision of the Merger Agreement, (c) the date on which either the QLT board of directors or the Issuer's board of directors changes its recommendation of the Merger to its shareholders in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and (d) the date on which the Merger is consummated. Additionally, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing the Merger, the Reporting Persons have agreed to participate in a private placement of QLT's Shares immediately prior to the Merger closing. Pursuant to the Form S-4 filed by QLT on September 9, 2016, upon the consummation of the Merger, Kevin Kotler will become a director of Novelion. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on November 29, 2016, the Merger was completed and each Common Share held by the Reporting Persons was converted into the right to receive 1.0256 shares of common stock of Novelion Therapeutics Inc., formerly known as QLT Inc. Accordingly, effective upon the closing of the Merger, the Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own any Common Stock of the Issuer.

Item 5.	Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

	(a)-(c) (e)	None of the Reporting Persons beneficially own any Common Stock of the Issuer as of the effective time of the Merger, which occurred on November 29, 2016. Except for the transactions in respect of the closing of the Merger described above in Item 4, no transaction in the Common Stock of the Issuer was effected since the date of the Reporting Persons prior SC 13D filed on September 12, 2016. As a result of the transactions described in Item 4, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Common Stock of the Issuer as of the effective time of the Merger, which occurred on November 29, 2016
