Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA is a non-GAAP earnings measure, therefore, it does not have any
standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles and may not be similar to measures presented by other companies.
EBITDA represents earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation
and amortization. This measure is important to management since it is used by
potential investors to evaluate the Corporation's operating performance and
ability to incur and service debt, and as a valuation metric.
