text: **6.3 Audit Committee Charter**
  **and Independence of Auditors**
  The Board has adopted a policy 
  in relation to the provision of 
  non-audit services by the 
  Company’s external auditor that 
  is based on the principle that 
  work that may detract from the 
  external auditor’s independence 
  and impartiality, or be perceived 
  as doing so, should not be 
  carried out by the external 
  auditor. The Audit Committee 
  Charter clearly identifies those 
  services that the external auditor 
  may not provide, those that may 
  be supplied and those that 
  require specific approval of the 
  Chairman of the Audit 
  Committee, in consultation with 
  other members of the Committee. 
  
  the provision of non-audit 
  services by the external auditors 
  is compatible with the general 
  standard of independence for 
  auditors. 
  
  audit function is independent of 
  the external auditor and reports 
  to the Audit Committee. 
  
  The CEO and CFO have stated 
  to the Board in writing that: 
  
  **7. FINANCE COMMITTEE**

  Committee is documented in a 
  Charter, approved by the Board, 
  and includes responsibility for 
  considering and making 
  recommendations to the Board 
  on the Company’s capital 
  management strategy and the 
  Company’s funding requirements 
  and specific funding proposals. 
  The Committee also has 
  responsibility for formulating and 
  monitoring compliance with 
  treasury policies and practices 
  and the management of credit, 
  liquidity and commodity market 
  risks.
