Q: Followin on the other question regarding TRI, if you held it, would you opt out or take the cash?

If you're a patient investor, opting out seems like the way to go but interested in your thoughts as that doesn't seem to be the default. An investor has to take a positive step to opt out.

Q: Not a surprise: I am seeing news media reporters with income portfolios cutting Algonquin after their recent drop and dividend cut. It is also noteworthy that it has rallied.
Realizing that it apparently made some leadership decisions that weren’t ideal, its cash flow due rate increases was flagged as a major reason for the dividend cut.
Do you see that this continues to justify this drop or should it hopefully rectify itself when rates stabilize or drop again?

Q: Re your answer to Warren on the 4th. You referred us to a diagram link and it showed both options net the shareholders with value of $12.500.

So I see no net benefit in pursuing their optional plan.

Am I missing anything? Is one better than the other and I don't see it?

Thanks
