Q: Good day all.
I've read a note at Motley Fools that An IPO of TELUS International is planned for Q1 of 2021. Are you aware of this? If yes can you elaborate on how the current investors would be involved? Would we get shares of the new entity? If we got a special distribution would it be taxable as a special dividend? Do we have an idea on the split would work?

Thank you for leading us through these tough times.

Q: On the supply side, dry gas prices are low and drilling activity has been scaled way back (storage is full to the brim).

On the demand side, the potential for a cold winter on the coasts, increased adoption of EV, conversion of coal to gas, vaccine driven Covid economic recovery, etc.

It looks like there's potential for a pinch in the market on the price of gas. If that was the case (I'd like to hear your thoughts on that), what companies would see the most positive response in share price?

Q: Just beginning to learn about Sylogist, and have a quick question. Why does it, a smallish tech company, with presumably an intention to grow, pay such a large dividend? None of the big Canadian tech names pay anything close to that (if at all). Thanks.

Q: Hi, the GICs of smaller banks through TD direct investing such as Equitable, Home Equity and PC Bank offer much better rates than the big 5 and insurco banks. I know they are CDIC insured up to $100k but would still like to invest knowing they are decent and relatively secure companies. Could you comment on or rank the 3 mentioned in this regard and any you would pass on, Thanks

Little info on the deal as usual but looks like a great acquisition as SaaS is right in their wheel house. SSP Ltd is among Top 500 cloud software vendors according to the google search I did. What does 5i think of this deal?

Thanks
