     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.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

         The following exhibits are attached hereto:

         Exhibit
         Number   Description

         5.1      Opinion of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt as to the legality of the
                  securities being registered;

         23.1     Consent of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt (included in
                  Exhibit 5.1 to this Registration Statement);

         23.2     Consent of KPMG LLP; and

         24.1     Power of Attorney (included on page 6 of this
                  Registration Statement).

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

     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 following exhibits are attached hereto:

         Exhibit
         Number   Description

         5.1      Opinion of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt as to the legality of the

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.
