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 period from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2010, 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, 2010. We have issued a separate audit report on certain individual composite presentations of the Company dated February 22, 2011, and accordingly, we express no opinion or any other form of assurance on the individual composite performance results in this compliance report. Chartered Accountants Montreal, Canada February 22, 2011 ____________________ 1 Chartered accountant auditor permit No. 8845 Samson Bélair/Deloitte & Touche s.e.n.c.r.l. 1 Place Ville Marie Suite 3000 Montreal QC H3B 4T9 Canada Tel: 514-393-7115 Fax: 514-390-4111 www.deloitte.ca INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Directors of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec We have examined the performance calculations included in the accompanying Composite Performance Survey of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (the “Schedules”) for the period from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2010. The Schedules have been prepared by management of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (the “Caisse”) based on the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) of the CFA Institute as described in the Notes to the Schedules. Management's Responsibility for the Schedules Management is responsible for the preparation of the Schedules in accordance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) as described in the Notes to the Schedules, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 and fair presentation 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 portfolio and benchmark returns of the Company for the period ended December 31, 2010 in accordance with the calculation methodology required by the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) of the CFA Institute as described in the Notes to the Schedule. Other matters We have issued a separate audit report on the Caisse’s compliance on a firm-wide basis with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) dated February 22, 2011, and accordingly, we express no opinion or any other form of assurance on the Company’s firm-wide compliance in this report.
