Item 2 - Identity and Background

This Schedule 13DA is filed jointly on behalf of CDPQ, a legal person without share capital and a mandatary of the State of the Province de Québec, created by a special act of the Legislature of the Province de Québec, and Capital, a legal entity duly incorporated under part 1A of the Companies ACT (Québec) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDPQ, pursuant to Rule 13d-1(f)(1) under the Exchange Act.

The principal business address and the principal office address of each of CDPQ and Capital is 1981, McGill College Avenue, Montréal, Québec, H3A 3C7. The names, business addresses and principal occupation of each director and executive officer of CDPQ and Capital are set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto.

Each of the directors and executive officers named in Exhibit B is a Canadian citizen, except Mr. John T. Wall who is an American citizen.

To the best knowledge of CDPQ and Capital, none of the persons listed on Exhibit B has, during the last five years, (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, United States federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3 - Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Capital sold 127,500 Shares for Can. $188,572.

Item 4 - Purpose of Transaction

Neither CDPQ nor Capital has any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions or effects set forth in items (a) through (e) of Item 5 of Schedule 13DA, although either of them may develop such plans or proposals.

CDPQ and Capital intend to review on a continuing basis their investment in the Company. As of the date of this Schedule 13DA, no determination has been made by CDPQ or Capital to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of any shares of Common Stock now held by them, although either of them may decide to so acquire or dispose of shares of Common Stock. Any such determination will depend on market conditions prevailing from time to time and on other conditions which may be applicable depending on the nature of the transaction or transactions involved.

Item 5 - Interest in Securities of Issuer

  1. With recent transactions, Capital is now the direct beneficial owner of 1,091,590 shares of Common Stock (the "Capital Shares"). CDPQ may be deemed to be the indirect, beneficial owner of the Capital Shares. The Capital Shares represent approximately 4.78% of the 22,847,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on the date hereof, based upon information provided by the company.
  2. CDPQ has the power to vote and dispose of the Capital Shares.
  3. Except as set forth in this Schedule 13DA, none of CDPQ, Capital or, to the best knowledge of CDPQ or Capital, any person named on Exhibit B hereto, owns any shares of the Company's Common Stock, and none has purchased or sold any shares of the Company's Common Stock during the past 60 days.
  4. Except as set forth in this Schedule 13DA, no person is known by CDPQ or Capital to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock of the Company beneficially owned by CDPQ and Capital.
  5. Not applicable.

Item 6 - Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13DA, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons referred to in Item 2 of this Schedule 13DA or between such persons and any other person with respect to any of the securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, any relating to the transfer or voting of any of such securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss or the giving or withholding of proxies.
