COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

The standing committees of the Board are the Audit Committee, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee, the Governance and Nominating Committee and the Health, Safety and Environment Committee. Each of these four committees has written terms of reference (acting as a form of committee charter) satisfying, at a minimum, applicable legislative and TSX rules.

All Directors, whether members of specific committees or not, may request attendance at any committee meeting and may make suggestions to committee chairs for additions to the agenda of his or her committee or to request that an item from a committee agenda be considered by the Board. Each committee chair will give periodic reports of his or her committee’s activities to the Board.

The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible, after consultation with the Chair of the Board, for recommending the assignment of Board members to various committees and the selection of the committee chairs.
