Q: What are the similarities and differences between the TD Canadian Index fund (e series) and XIU? The TD fund is based on the Solactive Canada Broad Market Index. XIU is based on the S&P/TSX 60 Index. After reviewing materials I'm not sure of the similarities and differences. Please explain.

Thank you for your ongoing excellent commentary on questions. I review questions and answers daily. It's a little after one year after signing up, and I am a much, much better investor because of your service.

Q: This is a small cap Canadian oil company that has production in Thailand. This week they announced a $0.40/sh. return of capital along with the intention to sell their remaining production holdings. That would likely be returned to shareholders as well. The Thai wells are very profitable right now due to high oil prices in a great geographic location and they are reporting historically high production levels.
My question: What are your thoughts of the recent announcements/how accretive do you think they are?

Q: CCL.b reports next week and I'd like to know your level of concern about them around this Qtr. I'm trying to get a sense as to their possible sensitivity to input cost inflation. So I'd like to know your thoughts around them perhaps meeting/exceeding this reporting qtr BUT commentary that they are uncertain/fearful around next qtr due to supply chain constraints/inflation. Lots of companies seem to be beating their numbers but getting hammered because of supply chain commentary on conference call. Basically asking what CCL's sensitivity is to the current narrative around supply chains/inflation. Thank you as always.

Q: There is a lot of talk about copper as a fundamental commodity for electrification and cobalt being critical for batteries. These I believe are often mined together. Do you see opportunity for investment based on these theses despite of recent price appreciations and which company would you recommend giving preference to Canadian companies.
Thank you for your great service, Peter
