Appendix B

Plan Assets

The assets of the plan, except for a small cash flow account, are invested as part of the OMERS pension fund under a master trust arrangement. The cash flow account is maintained by Sun Life Financial. In preparing this report, we have relied upon fund statements prepared by Sun Life Financial and audited financial statements prepared by OMERS. Customarily, this information would not be verified by a plan’s actuary. We have reviewed the information for internal consistency and we have no reason to doubt its substantial accuracy.
