The following guidelines describe how we intend to vote on some commonly raised or potentially contentious issues. These guidelines have been developed with a view to encouraging companies to take actions, in the long term, are in the best economic interest of shareholders. We apply these guidelines to help determine whether to support or oppose a proposal by a corporation (or shareholder), such action having been placed before all shareholders for a vote.
Since we vote Canadian, U.S., and international proxies, our guidelines deliberately cover a broad range of corporate governance matters, a number of which may not arise in Canada for regulatory reasons or because of the different size and composition of the Canadian corporate community.
