Compliance with the GIPS Standards is the responsibility of the management of the Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion based upon our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Company complied with the criteria established by the GIPS Standards. Such an audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting compliance, evaluating the overall compliance with these criteria, and where applicable, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management. In our opinion, the Company has complied with the GIPS Standards for the year ended December 31, 2017, including the composite construction requirements on a firm wide basis and the design of its processes and procedures to calculate and present performance results in compliance with the GIPS Standards as of December 31, 2017. We have issued a separate audit report on certain individual composite presentations of the Company dated February 21, 2018 and accordingly, we express no opinion or any other form of assurance on any such performance results in this compliance report. February 21, 2018 ___________________ 1 CPA auditor, CA, public accountancy permit No. A110972 Deloitte LLP La Tour Deloitte 1190 Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal Suite 500 Montréal QC H3B 0M7 Tel: 514-393-7115 Fax: 514-390-4116 www.deloitte.ca Independent Auditor’s Report To the Directors of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec We have examined the performance calculation included in the accompanying Composite Performance Summary of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (the “Schedules”) for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Schedules have been prepared by management of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec based on the Global Investment Performance Standards (“GIPS”) of the CFA Institute as described in the Notes to the Schedules. Management’s Responsibility Management is responsible for the preparation of the Schedules in accordance with the GIPS Standards as described in the Notes to the Schedules, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Schedules that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Management is also responsible for determining that the financial reporting framework is acceptable in the circumstances. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Schedules based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the procedures for a Verification and Performance Examination set forth by the GIPS Standards and such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the schedules. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Schedules, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the Schedules in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Schedules. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the Schedules present fairly, in all material respects, the composites and benchmarks returns of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec for the year ended December 31, 2017, in accordance with the calculation methodology required by the GIPS Standards of the CFA Institute as described in the Notes to the Schedules. Other matters We have issued a separate audit report on the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec’s compliance on a firm-wide basis with GIPS dated February 21, 2018, and accordingly, we express no opinion or any other form of assurance on any such performance results in this report. Basis of Performance Calculation and Restrictions on Distribution and Use Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to the Notes to the Schedules, which describe the basis of performance calculation. The Schedules are prepared to meet the requirements of the GIPS Standards. As a result, the Schedules may not be suitable for another purpose.

  • The Fastest 50 the Vancouver Sun Wed 31 Oct 2007 Page: F2 Section: Special Section Source: Vancouver Sun
    The Fastest 50 The Vancouver Sun Wed 31 Oct 2007 Page: F2 Section: Special Section Source: Vancouver Sun British Columbia's fastest-growing publicly traded companies These lists detail two pillars of B.C.'s economy: Those companies with the fastest growth and those companies with the strongest fundamentals, hence the Fastest 50 and the Strongest 50 combine to form The Vancouver Sun's Top 100. The Fastest list is all about balanced growth, not just success in one category of financial performance. Where other ranking efforts look solely at revenue change, BusinessBC's sophisticated analysis is based on formulas developed by James Brander of the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia. It takes into account employee growth, revenues, stock performance, and earnings. The Strongest 50 concentrates on total assets, market capitalization and how the company performs based on those fundamentals (more below.) Twenty-five companies, such as Teck Cominco, have both strong fundamentals and continue to grow, so they qualify for both lists. BusinessBC's other project partner, Ernst & Young LLP, began by looking at all publicly-traded companies with headquarters in B.C. and/or a significant proportion of business activities located in the province. Most but not all companies are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange or the TSX Venture Exchange. Detailed financial information was drawn from annual reports and other sources. Employee numbers were volunteered by the companies and compiled by staff at The Vancouver Sun. Some 500 to 600 corporations were reviewed to arrive at this selection. James Brander's formula was applied to Ernst & Young's findings and the result was further refined to ensure that companies with balanced growth across the categories received due recognition.

    13 March 2003 Mr. Alex Himelfarb Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Cabinet Langevin Block 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A3 Bernard A. Courtois Executive Counsel Dear Mr. Himelfarb: BCE & Bell Canada Subject: Canada Gazette – Notice No. DGTP-001-03 Petition to the Governor in Council from Quebecor Média inc. under Section 12 of the Telecommunications Act in regard to the following CRTC Decision: Quebecor Média inc. – Alleged anti-competitive cross-subsidization of Bell ExpressVu, Telecom Decision CRTC 2002-61 These comments are filed on behalf of BCE Inc. and Bell Canada in response to the petition by Quebecor Média inc. (“Quebecor”) to the Governor in Council regarding Telecom Decision CRTC 2002-61 (“the Decision”). In its application of 4 April 2002, filed with the CRTC pursuant to Part VII of the CRTC Telecommunications Rules of Procedure, Quebecor alleged that BCE has been using profits generated by Bell Canada to anti-competitively cross-subsidize the entry of Bell ExpressVu Limited Partnership (“ExpressVu”) into the Quebec broadcasting distribution market. Quebecor argued that mechanisms put in place by the Commission to prevent cross-subsidization of ExpressVu by Bell Canada be activated in order to prevent Bell Canada, the dominant player in local telephone service, from becoming the dominant broadcasting distribution undertaking (“BDU”). In its Decision of 8 October 2002, the Commission found that Bell Canada was not, in fact, inappropriately cross-subsidizing ExpressVu, and furthermore, that ExpressVu was not the dominant BDU that Quebecor warned about: [T]he Commission remains of the view that the existing mechanisms, including those recently modified in Decision 2002- 34, are appropriate and sufficient to prevent inappropriate cross- subsidization of ExpressVu by Bell Canada, at the expense of users of telecommunications services.

  • The Lower Mainland Food System: the Role of Fruit and Vegetable Processing
    The Lower Mainland Food System: The Role of Fruit and Vegetable Processing by Grant Rice B.Comm., Royal Roads University, 2008 Research Project Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Urban Studies in the Urban Studies Program Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Grant Rice 2014 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2014 Approval Name: Grant Rice Degree: Master of Urban Studies Title of Thesis: The Lower Mainland Food System: The Role of Fruit and Vegetable Processing Examining Committee: Chair: Anthony Perl Professor, Urban Studies and Political Science Hannah Wittman Senior supervisor Adjunct Professor, Urban Studies Program, SFU. Associate Professor, Faculty of Land and Food Systems, UBC. Peter Hall Co-supervisor Associate Professor Herb Barbolet External examiner Independent food consultant Date Defended/Approved: January 08, 2014 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Ethics Statement iv Abstract In this paper I explore the transformation of the fruit and vegetable processing industry in BC’s Lower Mainland region from the late 1980s to 2011. I look at how the industry has adapted to the globalization of the fruit and vegetable processing sector and how it has evolved since the introduction of free trade agreements in 1989 and 1994. This research is based on the analysis of media reports, statistical data, survey results, and a series of interviews. The fruit and vegetable processing industry works within a globalized, competitive food system, while remaining an important component of the local food system. The paper contributes to the growing body of literature on Alternative Food Networks and Short Food Supply Chains in an often understudied link in that chain.
