As part of CP’s long term succession plan, you were recently appointed as a Company (non-independent) director on CP’s Board.

Your position will be based at CP’s head office in Calgary, Alberta, Canada effective as soon as possible but no later than August 30th, 2015.
3)
CP will be solely responsible for the cost, administration and payment of any accrued compensation amounts that are owed or will be owing to the executive.
4)
The Employment Agreement specifically contemplates tax equalization between United States and Canadian jurisdictions. This arrangement continues in place.
