[SID_368] MODERN SLAVERY REPORT Potential Modern Slavery Risks in Our Operations and Supply Chains
[SID_368] Operations MEGs operations require a wide variety of goods and services to operate, the vast majority of which are produced with higher-skilled and trained labour forces, including engineering, finance, and geoscientific services as well as specialized equipment and services for in situ SAGD oil production and transportation
[SID_368] In our operations, we do not use forced or compulsory workers and such practices are illegal in the jurisdictions in which we operate
[SID_368] Our employees are above the legal employment age in Canada and are recruited and provided with working conditions, wages and benefits that comply with Canadian laws and regulations, including those laws and regulations related to employment, labour and occupational health and safety
[SID_368] Canada is considered a low-risk jurisdiction for Modern Slavery risks according to the Global Slavery Index
[SID_368] Our operations are complex and sophisticated and as a result, the majority of our employees and contractors are highly skilled professionals and technical labour
[SID_368] We consider the risk of Modern Slavery in our workforce to be low
[SID_368] ii
[SID_368] Supply Chains To support our operations, our technical business units and supply chain management functions steward the acquisition of goods and services from third parties, including engineering, procurement, and construction services, general maintenance and support services, chemicals, drilling services and equipment, transportation and logistics services, operations support services, electrical and electronic equipment, and staffing agencies
[SID_368] In our supply chains, a risk of Modern Slavery may exist where contractors and subcontractors conduct operations in countries with weak governance and regulatory oversight, a poor human rights track record and/or require the employment of low-skilled, physical labour
[SID_368] We identify and assess the risk of Modern Slavery through our supply chain management processes by conducting a risk-based review, which identifies suppliers in higher risk geographic jurisdictions
[SID_368] Based on our review, and to the best of MEGs knowledge, we have not identified suppliers and goods in our supply chain that present a high-risk potential of engaging in practices associated with Modern Slavery
[SID_368] MEG acknowledges that it lacks visibility in respect to some of its suppliers located internationally, including indirect suppliers (ie the suppliers of MEGs direct suppliers)
[SID_368] MEG will continue to work to further identify, understand and ultimately mitigate the risks of modern slavery in its supply chains
[SID_368] Policies in Relation to Modern Slavery MEGs Business Conduct Charter and MEGs Human Rights Policy Statement prohibit Modern Slavery and set out MEGs commitment to ensuring human rights are respected in the conduct of all its activities, including
[SID_368] MODERN SLAVERY REPORT

[SID_368] providing access to MEGs Business Conduct Charter and Human Rights Policy Statement to all new and existing employees and contractors
[SID_368] MEG also intends to provide a copy of this Report to all of our employees and contractors
[SID_368] monitoring compliance by annually requiring employees and contractors to: (i) acknowledge their own compliance with all policies; and (ii) affirm they are not aware of non-compliance by others
[SID_368] providing ready access for employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to anonymous and secure communication and reporting channels that allow them to safely notify MEG of actual or potential breaches of MEGs Business Conduct Charter and Human Rights Policy, including via MEGs confidential and anonymous Business Conduct Helpline
[SID_368] reviewing and assessing MEGs policies, practices and procedures regarding Modern Slavery and human rights generally to ensure their ongoing relevance and alignment with MEGs overall business strategies
[SID_368] requiring suppliers to adhere to Canadian safety standards, including compliance with the Labour Code and WHMIS when working in our operations, emphasizing employee safety and environmental protection
[SID_368] assessing select supplier safety and quality assurance, quality control processes, and product testing for continuous improvement
[SID_368] on a risk-based approach, evaluating suppliers' capacity, production capabilities, and logistical processes to meet our demand, incorporating contingency planning to ensure flexibility and robust operations; and
[SID_368] commencing the development of a program to provide training and increase awareness of Modern Slavery risks to employees on an annual basis
[SID_368] Remediation During the Reporting Period, MEG did not have to take any measures to remediate any forced labour or child labour or remediate any loss of income incurred by vulnerable families as we did not identify any Modern Slavery in our operations or in our direct supply chains
[SID_368] MODERN SLAVERY REPORT Should MEG identify that a loss of income has occurred to victim(s) as a result of any measures taken to eliminate Modern Slavery risks in its activities and supply chains, it will seek to take appropriate actions to remediate the loss to the victims
[SID_368] Training During the Reporting Period, MEG provided first-time training to front line SCM employees to raise awareness of Modern Slavery indicators via the Supply Chain Canada training webinar, which discussed steps that organizations can take to identify, manage and prevent Modern Slavery and also explored how organizations can effectively operationalize and incorporate supply chain due diligence into their ESG programs and strategies
[SID_368] This training is anticipated to be incorporated into MEGs annual training program
[SID_368] Assessment of Effectiveness MEG is committed to assessing the effectiveness of its practices and policies and will seek to continually strengthen and improve upon its Modern Slavery response
[SID_368] The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the execution and implementation of MEGs modern slavery-related programs and policies
[SID_368] The Board will receive a regular annual report from MEGs SCM and legal team identifying areas of potential risk and actions taken to remediate such risks
[SID_368] MEG will review the effectiveness of steps taken to identify, assess and mitigate Modern Slavery risks by
[SID_368] investigating any complaints and grievances received through our reporting mechanisms described herein
[SID_368] evaluating our supply chain processes on an ongoing basis

[SID_369] Lamb Ford Sales Ltd - Forced Labour Report
[SID_369] Report on Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains, 2023
[SID_369] The Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (Canadas Modern Slavery Act, the Act) came into force on January 1, 2024
[SID_369] In accordance with the Act, this report outlines the policies and procedures that Lamb Ford Sales Ltd (Lamb Ford) has implemented to prevent and reduce the risk that neither forced labour nor child labour occurs in its supply chains or operations
[SID_369] Structure and Activities Lamb Ford Sales Ltd is a large central Alberta retailer of vehicles including cars, sports utility vehicles (SUVs), vans and trucks and employs approximately 70 full and part-time staff
[SID_369] The family-owned business started in Camrose in 1981 and carries a comprehensive line of new Ford vehicles and high- quality used vehicles
[SID_369] Resale of used vehicles includes a small number of exports to states in the U.S.A
[SID_369] Lamb Ford services all makes and models of vehicles through its Quick Lane (lubrication and tires), Service, and Fix Auto Camrose (collision repair) departments
[SID_369] Its Finance department provides customers with a range of options to help purchase and maintain their vehicles
[SID_369] The Parts department supports other businesses and individuals in repairing, upgrading and personalizing vehicles
[SID_369] Supply Chains All new vehicles sold by Lamb Ford are purchased from Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, which through Ford Motor Company has its own statement on Global Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Transparency
[SID_369] Used vehicles are sourced from individual (mostly local) owners and provincial dealer- only auctions
[SID_369] A very high percentage of parts sold are sourced through Canadian original equipment manufacturers (O.E.M.s), with the remainder coming from trusted local parts suppliers and occasionally North American suppliers when necessary
[SID_369] The services of trusted local companies and contractors are retained on occasion
[SID_369] Steps Taken to Prevent and Reduce the Risk of Supply Chain Forced Labour and Child Labour Lamb Ford stands resolutely against the practices of forced labour and child labour
[SID_369] To help prevent those practices in its supply chain, management has conducted an internal assessment of risks in the organizations activities and supply chains
[SID_369] The risks are mitigated by using local, Canadian, and in a few cases, U.S.A sources
[SID_369] Suppliers of goods and services are monitored to ensure continued compliance
[SID_369] The hiring practices of Lamb Ford include gathering information directly and indirectly on potential employees
[SID_369] Conversations with the potential employee, reference checks and discussions with past employers are made
[SID_369] Original documentation to prove identity, such as drivers licences, passports, and
[SID_369] Page 2 of 3
[SID_369] social insurance cards/letters are required of all new hires
[SID_369] No underage person is ever hired by Lamb Ford
[SID_369] Risk Of Forced Labour or Child Labour Being Used in Lamb Fords Business and Supply Chain, and Steps Taken to Assess and Manage That Risk Parts supply chains carry risks related to forced labour and child labour
[SID_369] The likelihood that Lamb Ford directly employs forced or child labour is extremely low
[SID_369] By sourcing parts mainly from Ford of Canada and local distributors, the risks of supporting forced labour and/or child labour are further reduced
[SID_369] Measures Taken to Remediate Any Forced Labour or Child Labour Lamb Ford has not identified or been informed of any forced labour or child labour in its supply chains
[SID_369] Measures Taken to Remediate the Loss of Income to the Most Vulnerable Families That Results from Any Measure Taken to Eliminate the Use of Forced Labour or Child Labour in Its Activities and Supply Chains Lamb Ford recognizes that elimination of forced labour and child labour could result in financial hardship for less privileged families
[SID_369] If forced labour or child labour in its supply chains is discovered, Lamb Ford commits to taking action by reporting the information to appropriate authorities
[SID_369] Also, Lamb Ford will, as much as possible, communicate with affected individuals and appropriate authorities to determine what kinds of support and compensation can be provided
[SID_369] Training Provided to Employees on Forced Labour and Child Labour The management team at Lamb Ford takes very seriously the harm caused by forced labour and child labour
[SID_369] Management utilizes Canadian government resources, such as those provided by Public Safety Canada, to train and improve the management team in its ability to prevent supporting forced labour and child labour
[SID_369] Assessment Of Lamb Fords Effectiveness in Ensuring That Forced Labour and Child Labour Are Not Being Used in Its Business and Supply Chains Ensuring the effectiveness of Lamb Fords adherence to its principles, including working to prevent forced labour and child labour in its activities and supply chains, is a daily process
[SID_369] Through annual reviews and discussions with managers, Lamb Ford plans to keep this issue current and relevant in the minds of staff
[SID_369] Lamb Ford acknowledges that the entities making use of forced labour and child labour are unlikely to make such practices obvious and visible, and that there is always the potential for such problems to find their way into a supply chain
[SID_369] As of the date of this report Lamb Ford is proud to state that no instances of forced labour or child labour were found in its operations or supply chains
