About | Corporate Governance
   
The Trust's corporate governance practices have been established pursuant to the terms of the Trust Indenture and with reference to the provisions of National Instrument 58-201, Corporate Governance Guidelines ("NI 58-201"). VRL is committed to a high standard of corporate governance practices. The Board believes that this commitment is not only in the best interest of Unitholders but that it also promotes effective decision making at the Board level. The Board is of the view that its approach to corporate governance is appropriate and complies with the objectives and guidelines relating to corporate governance set forth in NI 58-201. In addition, the Board monitors and considers for implementation by the Trust the corporate governance standards which are proposed and/or enforced by various Canadian regulatory authorities or which are published by various non-regulatory organizations in Canada.
