Notice to all Non-Canadian Resident Shareholders
In 2012, the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") changed how the tax
withholding rate applied to dividend payments made to non-residents
is determined. The CRA now requires a certification of residency
from each shareholder so that the preferred tax treaty rate can be
applied where applicable to person's resident in countries which
have a tax treaty with Canada.
