*Actual amount may vary. **Targeted monthly distribution rates are based on the net asset value per unit of a fund as at the fund’s previous year-end. Target distributions are not guaranteed and may change at any time at the discretion of the fund’s Manager. If distributions paid by the fund are greater than the performance of the fund, distributions paid may include a return of capital and an investor’s original investment will shrink. A return of capital is not taxable to the investor, but will generally reduce the adjusted cost base of the securities held for tax purposes. If the adjusted cost base falls below zero, investors will realize capital gains equal to the amount below zero. Distributions are automatically reinvested unless an investor elects to receive them in cash. Investors should not confuse a fund’s distribution rate with its performance, rate of return or yield.

his past May, we said goodbye to Rona Ambrose as interim leader. TRona was a champion for all Albertans, presented a strong conviction for justice within the House of Commons, and displayed her deep passion for improving the lives of Canadians across the country. Her overwhelming support was made clear during her tributes from our caucus and fellow Members of Parliament. Thank you, Rona, for your service to all Canadians. Going forward, I would like to welcome as the new leader of the Conservative Party. I look forward to working with him in Ottawa. Over the past legislative year, my colleague and Conservative Member of Parliament Michael Cooper re-introduced Bill S-217, Wynn’s Law, to the House of Commons. Wynn’s Law would require that the Crown disclose the criminal history and outstanding charges of bail applicants. Bill S-217 was proposed in response to the murder of Constable David Wynn, who lost his life to career criminal Shawn Rehn. Currently, under the Criminal Code, it is discretionary for prosecutors to present the criminal history of an accused at their bail hearing. Wynn’s Law would close this loophole. Despite passing the 2nd reading in the House of Commons, Wynn’s Law was defeated by the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, as it voted to recommend that the House of Commons not proceed with the bill. In March, the Liberal government tabled the budget for 2017. As member of the Official Opposition and Vice Chair of the Finance Committee, I have worked with my colleagues to find areas to criticize within the budget. I have been disappointed with the lack of tangible choices or measures made by the budget. It does not provide relief for unemployed Albertans, nor does it address the priorities of Albertan families. There has been no plan made to balance the budget before 2050-2051, and large structural deficits have been forecasted for the next five years. In Finance Committee, we have studied the subject matter of Bill C-44, An Act to Implement Certain Provisions of the Budget Tabled in Parliament “Rejoice as summer on March 22, 2017 and Other Measures. Within committee, I have stood up for Albertan should…chase away interests, making it clear that a strong Albertan economy and oil and gas sector benefits sorrows by living.” the entire country. At Finance Committee and in the House, our Conservative caucus will continue to hold the government to account to ensure that the voices of Albertans are heard - Melissa Marr in Ottawa. As always, your feedback is welcomed and valued. Now that the House of Commons has adjourned for the summer, I hope to see many of you around in the neighbourhood. I wish everyone an enjoyable summer with family and friends, and hope you find an opportunity to participate in a number of events celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday!

Float therapy is a form of physical and mental relaxation that helps us to unplug long enough to achieve a sense of stillness and to carry that stillness into our lives for hours and days afterward. Imagine your body floating in a pool of warm salt water four times denser than the Dead Sea. After a few minutes, the edges of your body begin to blur and you lose your sense of where your body ends and where the water begins.
