I think this is important as information for SLI investors going forward. If you recall the problems encountered with specifically RBC and Scotia Bank during voting by shareholders to remove management, then to understand more at a later date, I consider this information a prerequisite. If you entertain the "electoral fraud" thought, it may make more sense. Also, do not rule out Olympia Trust in this. Olympia Trust is SLI,s transfer agent and is responsible for distributing SLI,s circular and proxy.

"These facts have for years been been in the possession of international financial regulators and governments throughout the world—including those of Britain, France and the United States—which systematically covered them up. Neither the bank, nor its executives, nor any of the clients that utilized its tax dodging services have been criminally prosecuted."
