Exhibit 99.5

Notice-and-Access The Canadian securities regulators have adopted new rules, effective for meetings held on or after March 1, 2013, which permit the use of notice-and-access for proxy solicitation instead of the traditional physical delivery of material. This new process provides the option to post meeting related materials including management information circulars, as well as annual financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis on a website in addition to SEDAR. Under notice-and-access, meeting related materials will be available for viewing for up to 1 year from the date of posting and a paper copy of the material can be requested at any time during this period.
