In connection with that registration, we consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” and the reference to our advice under the heading “Description of Debt Securities—Enforceability of Judgments” in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus and prospectus supplement filed with the British Columbia Securities Commission.

Yours very truly,
