The Prospectus qualifies the issuance of a maximumof 4,000,000 Units of the Trust (the "Offering").

4. The Units have conditionally been approvedfor listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

5. By virtue of the redemption features attachingto the Units, the Trust is considered a "mutual fund"within the meaning of the Act and other applicable legislation.
