Item 8.01 Other Matters.
On May 4, 2006 the Corporation issued a news release announcing that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program, by way of a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange, of up to 10% of the public float of its common shares, or approximately 4.7 million shares. A copy of the news release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
On May 5, 2006, the company filed a current report on Form 8-K disclosing the announcement of the share repurchase program under the heading “Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure” rather than under heading “Item 8.01 Other Matters.” This current report on Form 8-K/A amends the current report filed on Form 8-K on May 4, 2005, by referring to the correct Item heading.
