Message: TSX Ammendments

Posing a question:

The TSX has implemented new ammendments which includes the election of directors annually to elimenate staggered BODs. This was effective Dec. 31, NOT to affect any company holding their AGM prior to this date, however they made exception to this with SLI, otherwise Murry Braucht would still be a director.

Another ammendment was full disclosure of voting results, including rules regarding majority voting policies. My question is this:

If the ammendment to the annual election of directors was made retrocactive for SLI, shouldn't the other ammendments be as well? Why do we still have directors in place that clearly DID NOT receive the majority of shreholders votes?

Below are the ammendments effective Dec 31, 2012.
