(the "Registrant") removes from registration all of the unsold securities registered under the Registration Statement on Form F-3D (Registration No. 333-217016) filed by the Registrant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2017 (the "Registration Statement"), pertaining to the registration of 93,428,284 common shares of the Registrant under the Registrant's dividend reinvestment plan.
