We hereby confirm to you that the statements of Canadian tax law set forth under the heading “Canadian Taxation” in the Registration Statement constitute an accurate summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations described therein, subject to the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions referred to therein.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the headings “Canadian Taxation” and “Legal Matters”. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933.
