This Charter has been established to assist the Enterprise Risk Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and the Board of Directors in the exercise of its responsibilities, particularly by defining the scope of the Committee’s authority in respect of risk oversight matters delegated to it by the Board.

Where used in this Charter, the term “Executive or Management” has the meaning ascribed to it in the Corporation’s Board Charter.

The Board has delegated to the Committee the responsibility for overseeing the effectiveness of risk management policies, procedures and practices implemented by management of the Corporation with respect to strategic, operational, environmental, health and safety, human resources, legal and compliance and other risks faced by the Corporation. For greater certainty, the Committee’s oversight responsibilities do not extend to those risks delegated to other Board Committees.

assess with Executive Management the Corporation’s risk profile, including the categories of risk the Corporation faces, as well as strategies implemented to mitigate the identified risks;

satisfy itself as to the ways in which known and emerging risks are identified, documented, and assessed, aggregate and individual risk limits are set (where applicable) and the actions taken if those limits are exceeded;
