1 Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd SFI Audit From September 19-22, 2017 an audit team from KPMG Performance Registrar Inc. (KPMG PRI) carried out an SFI surveillance audit of Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd. s Prince Albert woodlands operations and fibre procurement activities against the requirements of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) forest management and fibre sourcing standards. To provide for a more efficient audit, an ISO surveillance audit was conducted at the same time. This surveillance summary report provides an overview of the process and KPMG s findings. Description of Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd. Woodlands and Procurement Operations Montreal Lake Business Ventures (MLBV) is a wholly owned by Montreal Lake Cree Nation (MLCN) and the operations are within MLCN s traditional territory. MLBV is also a shareholder in Sakaw Aisky Management Inc. which is a working consortium of a number of stakeholders managing forestlands within the Prince Albert Forest Management Agreement area. Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd. operations are carried out through Kaskew Forest Products LP which is the underlying operating company. Montreal Lake Business Ventures manages approximately 310,000 hectares of timberland, and has an annual allocation of 200,000 m3 of softwood harvest and 40,000 m3 of deciduous harvest, and the 2016 audit found that the Company s forest harvesting continues to conform to the AAC applicable to these operations. The company does not have an associated sawmill or other wood processing facility, and does not buy logs from others, and accordingly the SFI Fiber Sourcing standard does not apply. The woodlands operations that are included within the scope of the Company s SFI certification are covered by a sustainable forest management (SFM) plan that addresses the Objectives of the SFI forest management standard and include a variety of targets in relation to them. In addition, government-approved harvest plans address both timber and non-timber values. These are developed to be consistent with higher level plans such as the Prince Albert Forest Management Plan. which provide direction to forest management within the areas managed by the organization. The forests managed by the Company are within the WWF mid-continental Canadian as well as Canadian aspen forests and parkland eco-regions, and common tree species are trembling aspen, pine, spruce, balsam, poplar, and birch. The forest management approach employed by the Company is based on even-aged management, ground-based harvesting systems, clearcut harvesting with the retention of reserves of standing trees, post-harvest regeneration of deciduous species through natural suckering, and in the case of conifer species regeneration through planting with a mix of ecologically suited tree species. #0746 Audit Scope The audit was conducted against the requirements of the edition of the SFI forest management and fibre sourcing standards, and incorporated an assessment against all SFI program objectives (which are shown in the Evidence of Conformity tables later in this report).

2 The Audit Audit Team The audit was conducted by Branden Beatty, R.P.Bio, EP(EMSLA) Lead Auditor, and Dennis Lozinsky RPF, EP(EMSLA) as team member. Branden is an employee of KPMG PRI, and has conducted numerous forest management audits under a variety of standards including SFI, ISO 14001, CSA Z809 and FSC. Dennis is an independent consultant with experience in conducting forest against the ISO and SFI standards SFI Surveillance Audit The audit involved an on-site assessment of all elements of the Company s environmental management system (EMS) and SFI program, and included visits to several field sites (2 roads, 3 harvesting) to evaluate conformance with the requirements of the current SFI forest management standard. The 2017 Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd. s audit took a total of 5 auditor days to complete, 4 days of which were spent on-site at the operations included in the audit sample. The balance of audit time was spent preparing the audit plan, completing an off-site review of selected Company documents and records and completing various audit checklists and preparing the main and public summary audit reports. Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd. s SFI Program Representative Volker Schmid served as MLBV Ltd. SFI program representative during the audit. Use of Substitute Indicators The audit involved an assessment of conformance against the applicable objectives, performance measures and indicators included in the version of the SFI Forest Management and Fiber Sourcing Standards. None of the indicators included in the SFI standards were modified or substituted for the purpose of this audit. Audit Objectives The objective(s) of the audit were to evaluate the sustainable forest management system at Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd. s to: Determine its conformance with the requirements of the SFI forest management and fibre sourcing standards; Evaluate the ability of the system to ensure that Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd. s woodlands operations meet applicable regulatory requirements, and; Evaluate the effectiveness of the system in ensuring that Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd. s meets its specified SFM objectives. Where applicable, identify opportunities for improvement. Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd.

Minor non-conformities: Are isolated incidents that are noncritical to the achievement of SFM Objectives. All non-conformities require the development of a corrective action plan within 30 days of the audit. Corrective action plans to address major nonconformities must be fully implemented by the operation within 3 months or certification cannot be achieved / maintained. Corrective action plans to address minor non-conformities must be fully implemented within 12 months Opportunities for Improvement: Are not non-conformities but are comments on specific areas of the SFM System where improvements can be made.

4 Follow-up on Findings from Previous Audits At the time of this assessment there were a total of 1 open non-conformities from previous audits. The audit team reviewed the implementation of the action plans developed by Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd. to address these issues, and found that they had been effectively implemented. As a result, all of the nonconformities identified during previous audits have now been closed. Areas of Nonconformance A total of 1 minor non-conformity was identified during the SFI surveillance audit of Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd. Woodlands: SFI Forest Management Objective 9 (legal regulatory compliance). The SFI standard at requires systems to achieve compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The company meets this requirement by implementing their environment management system (Inspections, corrective actions, and incident investigations). The audit found the following weaknesses in implementing monitoring and corrective actions. -One block was missing an initial inspection, and the intermediate inspection on file was is incomplete. The audit also identified oil pails left on the block, (a reoccurring issue). -For one block a government inspection issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) FS 2079 for removal of forest products within specified time frames. MLBV completed an incident investigation, however the investigation corrective action dates were not consistent with NOV action dates, the error was also transferred to the MLBV incident ledger. Opportunities for Improvement No opportunities for improvement were identified during the audit. Audit Conclusions The audit found that the Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd. s sustainable forest management system: Were in full conformance with the requirements of the SFI forest management and fibre sourcing standards included within the scope of the audit, except where noted otherwise in this report; Has been/continues to be effectively implemented, and; Is sufficient to systematically meet applicable requirements and expected outcomes, provided that the system continues to be implemented and maintained as required. In addition, the audit found that the scope of Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd. certification to SFI standards is appropriate. As a result, a decision has been reached by the lead auditor/audit team to recommend that Montreal Lake Business Ventures Ltd. continue to be certified to the SFI standards.
