Q: Q 2 2016
Net revenues
Net revenues are defined as revenues less direct costs for sub-consultants and other direct expenses
that are recoverable directly from the clients. Net revenues are not an IFRS measure and do not have
a standardized definition within IFRS. Therefore, net revenues may not be comparable to similar
measures presented by other issuers. Investors are advised that net revenues should not be construed
as an alternative to revenues for the period (as determined in accordance with IFRS) as an indicator of
the Corporation’s performance.

For WSP this is a very large number 330 million $ +.. is this typical in the engineering business and is it
variable ? With 34000+ employees why do they need sub-consultants ? and overall
is WSP seriously exposed to wage inflation ?

A lot of questions here, Thank you,

Ian

Q: Interesting comments from David Baskin yesterday on why he still holds HCG. Only 8% of their portfolio is insured, so new mortgage rules should have a limited impact, and estimated earnings are $4.00 so very cheap at current price. As a longterm holder I'm considering averaging down. Appreciate your advice.

I have owned this name for a while and need to decide whether I should hold or take my losses. Any names you would replace it with in the same sector?

Q: Hello 5i team,

Which ETF is best suited for a long term hold (30 yrs) in a TFSA that will be DRIPPED and contributed to annually. I like the equal weight positions of ZRE but with a higher MER of .61% over the long term it seems the fee's could really start corroding my capital. VRE is the cheapest but also has the smallest yield and is market cap weighted. Is it possible BMO could lower these fee's in the future to stay competitive? I would eventually like to draw income from the holding.

Always appreciate the you insights
