We hereby confirm to you that, insofar as they describe provisions of Canadian federal income tax law, the statements set forth under the caption “Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Registration Statement are, subject to the qualifications, exceptions, assumptions, and limitations contained therein, our opinion.

In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Yours very truly,
