Q: Hi - Would you consider it a prudent time to invest in the Cdn auto parts sector (with regard to macro slowdown outweighing low inventories or vice versa)? If so, of the Canadian players, which one do you prefer and why?

Q: There has been alot of insider activity with multiple board members putting out nice sums of their own personal savings. It really stands out compared to other companies I watch. Does this set up a strong possibility of an acquisition or possibly something else. Is it worth the risk just based on that.

Q: Hi,
I just received notice from RBC that WSP has issued a Treasury Offering of Common Shares, priced at 171.75 Cdn, for a total of $400,013,000. It appears to be for the following:

On June 1, 2022, the Corporation announced that it had entered into a definitive share purchase agreement for the acquisition of the Environment & Infrastructure consulting business of John Wood Group plc (“Wood”) (the “Wood Acquisition”). The Wood Acquisition is expected to be completed in the second half of 2022 and is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including anti-trust and regulatory conditions.

I'm not familiar with this company and wonder what effect it will have on WSP's operations going forward. Any thoughts you can offer would be most appreciated! It appears there would be a hold on shares purchased for a 4 months' plus one day period. I already have shares at a 3.5% weighting and am wondering is this is an opportunity to add, or would it be best to stand aside? would you consider weightings of 5, or even 8% in WSP when taking into account this offer and the recent infrastructure bill in the US?

Thanks for all your hard work!

Dawn
