FRALICK PRESIDENT INNOVATIVE MEDICINES CANADA ECONOMIC CLUB OF CANADA The Life Sciences Industry of Tomorrow: Healthy Canadians, Healthy Future OCTOBER 31, 2017 OTTAWA, ONTARIO Check against delivery 55 rue Metcalfe Street | Suite/bureau 1220 | Ottawa ON | K1P 6L5 | 613-236-0455 | innovativemedicines.ca INTRODUCTION As some of you may know, I have had the privilege of a career leading health organizations - the ‘other side’ of the table, so to speak. Je suis donc bien consciente des tensions qui subsistent entre le secteur privé et le bien commun. I believe I am as aware as possible of the tensions that can exist between the private sector and a public good. I am committed to the idea and the ideal that the best solutions come from collaboration, constructive dialogue, healthy challenges and compromise. This will be the foundation and mainstay of my comments today and beyond. It is the vision of this association and its members to be the best partner possible, to contribute to creative solutions, and to share the weight of some of our most challenging concerns. Today, I’d like to take the opportunity to speak to four themes: 1. Our Economic Footprint: New data, 2. Research and Development: Our support for modernization of PMPRB, 3. Finding Middle Ground, and 4. Opportunities for Collaboration 1. ECONOMIC FOOTPRINT In May of this year, former federal Health Minister Jane Philpott delivered a much-anticipated speech at the Economic Club of Canada here in Ottawa. The speech was ambitious and far-reaching, and signaled, as the Minister said, “the most significant suite of changes” to Canada’s pharmaceutical drug regime in more than two decades.

  • Title – All Capital
    TSX: IMG NYSE: IAG NEWS RELEASE IAMGOLD MEETS 2020 GUIDANCE: PRODUCING 653,000 OUNCES OF GOLD AND EXITING THE YEAR WITH $950 MILLION IN CASH ON HAND All 2020 figures are preliminary and unaudited and subject to final adjustment. All amounts are in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated. Toronto, Ontario, January 19, 2021 – IAMGOLD Corporation (“IAMGOLD” or the “Company”) announces preliminary operating results for the fourth quarter and year-end 2020, as well as guidance for 2021. Gordon Stothart, President and CEO of IAMGOLD, commented, “We achieved our target production and cost guidance in 2020 in the face of many and varied challenges throughout the year. Essakane had its strongest quarter at the end of the year, Rosebel production was up quarter-over-quarter and Westwood contributed by processing stockpile and Grand Duc open pit ore. Looking forward, IAMGOLD’s unique growth platform will enable our transformation to a lower cost producer of over one million ounces of annual production within the next two-and-a-half years. Our North American platform will see focused execution on the ongoing construction at the Côté Gold Project and we additionally expect to complete a maiden resource estimate at the nearby Gosselin discovery, with further advanced exploration at the Nelligan / Monster Lake district. We are developing our West African platform through ongoing de-risking at the Boto Gold Project in Senegal, and through the exploration and evaluation of nearby deposits and new discoveries, along with satellite targets anchored by the Rosebel mine at our South American platform.” Performance Highlights for 2020 Attributable gold production of 653,000 ounces, at the mid-point of guidance of 630,000 to 680,000 ounces; fourth quarter production of 169,000 ounces.

This year new disclosure requirements under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) broadened the range of corporations required to provide disclosure regarding women in leadership positions and added new requirements for disclosure regarding visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples and persons with disabilities. Our sixth annual comprehensive report on diversity disclosure practices now covers disclosure by TSX-listed companies and CBCA corporations subject to disclosure requirements. We continue to provide detailed disclosure on TSX-listed companies to provide year-over-year comparisons. However, we now include new chapters summarizing the results of our review of CBCA company disclosure.

  • Canadian Television 2015 a Guide to Current Production
    CANADIAN TELEVISION 2015 A GUIDE TO CURRENT PRODUCTION Prepared for Michael Hennessy, President & CEO Canadian Media Production Association (CMPA) Curated by Bill Brioux CANADIAN TELEVISION 2015 1 A GUIDE TO CURRENT PRODUCTION CANADIAN TV ENTERS A GOLDEN AGE For the last 30 years, in my time reporting on it, television in Canada has undergone many changes. The one constant, however, has been the nagging impression that Canadian television is somehow inferior to the US brand. This notion has only intensified in recent years, in what some call the new “Golden Age” of TV drama. So, as many have been asking, where is Canada’s Golden Age? Well, you’ll find it in the pages of this book. Not everything that comes out of Canada is the quality of The Sopranos or Mad Men or Breaking Bad. Then again, few shows from America can come close to Bill Brioux these classics. The fact is Fargo, the most-nominated TV series at the 2014 Emmy Awards, is produced in the province of Alberta. Yes, the producers and many of the stars are Americans, but you should hear them gush about Canadian crews. Billy Bob Thornton, for one, is a fan. “One night, it went down to 40 below and they wouldn’t allow us to work,” he told me of working near Calgary on Fargo. “You figure if a Canadian says it’s too dangerous to go out there, it probably is too dangerous to go out.” FX Networks, considered the top non-premium US cable brand and a rival to HBO overall, invested The fact is television $100 million in Canada during the past TV season.
