We will pay interest on the Bonds at the rate of 2.20% per year. Interest will be paid on April 3 and October 3 of each year, beginning April
3, 2018. The Bonds will mature on October 3, 2022. We may not redeem the Bonds before maturity, unless specified events occur involving
Canadian taxation.
Application will be made for the Bonds offered by this Prospectus Supplement to be admitted to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock

the Luxembourg Stock Exchange is not a regulated market for purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2004/39/EC).
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Prospectus Supplement to the Bonds being "listed" shall mean that the Bonds have been
admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market and have been admitted to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. We have undertaken
to the underwriters to use all reasonable efforts to have the Bonds listed on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange on or as
soon as possible after the closing of the issue. We cannot guarantee that these applications will be approved, and settlement of the Bonds is not
conditional on obtaining the listing.
Investing in the Bonds involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-7.


Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any other regulatory authority has approved or disapproved of
these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus supplement dated September 26, 2017 (the "Prospectus

References in this Prospectus Supplement to the European Economic Area and Member States of the European Economic Area are to the
member states of the European Union together with Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein.
Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references in this Prospectus Supplement to "$" and "Canadian dollars" are to
lawful money of Canada and "US$" and "U.S. dollars" are to lawful money of the United States of America. The daily average exchange rate

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INVESTORS
We are not, and the underwriters are not, making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.
Before making an investment decision, you should consult your legal and investment advisers regarding any restrictions or concerns that may
pertain to you and your particular jurisdiction.
The Basic Prospectus contains or incorporates by reference information about us and other matters, including a description of some of the
terms of our Bonds, and should be read together with this Prospectus Supplement. We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized anyone
to provide any information other than that incorporated by reference or contained in the Basic Prospectus or this Prospectus Supplement or in any
free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no
assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that persons other than those authorized by us may give you.
In connection with the issue of the Bonds, the underwriters (or persons acting on their behalf) may over-allot Bonds or effect transactions
with a view to supporting the market price of the Bonds at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance
that the underwriters (or persons acting on their behalf) will undertake stabilization action. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date
on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the Bonds is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no
later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the Bonds and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the Bonds. Any stabilization action or
over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant underwriter (or persons acting on their behalf) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules
and will be undertaken at the offices of the underwriters and on the Euro MTF Market.
In connection with the issue of the Bonds, the underwriters are not acting for anyone other than us and will not be responsible to anyone other
than us for providing the protections afforded to their clients nor for providing advice in relation to the offering of the Bonds.
We expect that delivery of the Bonds will be made against payment therefor on or about the date specified on the cover page of this
Prospectus Supplement, which is five business days following the date of pricing of the Bonds (such settlement cycle being herein referred to as
"T+5"). You should note that the trading of the Bonds on the date of pricing or the next two succeeding business days may be affected by the T+5
settlement. See "Underwriting."
The Bonds may not be a suitable investment for all investors
Each potential investor in the Bonds must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each
potential investor should:

(i)
have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Bonds, the merits and risks of investing in the Bonds

and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement or any applicable supplement;
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/74615/000119312517296119/d442168d424b2.htm[9/28/2017 10:02:39 AM]

Table of Contents
(ii)
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular financial situation, an

investment in the Bonds and the impact the Bonds will have on its overall investment portfolio;

(iii) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Bonds, including where the currency for

principal or interest payments is different from the potential investor's currency;


(iv) understand thoroughly the terms of the Bonds and be familiar with the behavior of any relevant indices and financial markets; and

(v)
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors

that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
Legal investment considerations may restrict investments in, or the ability to pledge, the Bonds, limiting the market for resales
The investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain
authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent (1) the Bonds are legal investments
for it, (2) the Bonds can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing and (3) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Bonds.
Financial institutions should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of the Bonds under any
applicable risk-based capital or similar rules. These restrictions may limit the market for the Bonds.
You may assume that the information appearing in this Prospectus Supplement and the Basic Prospectus, as well as the information we
previously filed with the SEC, and incorporated by reference, is accurate in all material respects as of the date of such document.
We have filed a registration statement with the SEC covering the portion of the Bonds to be sold in the United States or in circumstances
where registration of the Bonds is required. For further information about us and the Bonds, you should refer to our registration statement and its
exhibits. This Prospectus Supplement and the Basic Prospectus summarize material provisions of the agreements and other documents that you
should refer to. Because the Prospectus Supplement and the Basic Prospectus may not contain all of the information that you may find important,
you should review the full text of these documents and the documents incorporated by reference in the Basic Prospectus.
We file reports and other information with the SEC in the United States. You may read and copy any document we file at the SEC's public
reference room in Washington, D.C. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for more information about the public reference room and the
applicable copy charges. Information filed by the Province is also available from the SEC's Electronic Document Gathering and Retrieval System
(http://www.sec.gov), which is commonly known by the acronym EDGAR, as well as from commercial document retrieval services.

Markets

Listing
We will apply to have the Bonds admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange. We have undertaken to the underwriters to use all reasonable efforts to have the Bonds
admitted to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to trading on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange's Euro MTF Market on or as soon as possible after the closing of the issue. We cannot
guarantee that the listing will be approved, and settlement of the Bonds is not conditional on obtaining
the listing. The Euro MTF Market is not a regulated market for purposes of the Markets in Financial
Instruments Directive.
Form of Bond and
settlement
The Bonds will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered permanent global bonds registered
in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, known as DTC, and will be
recorded in a register held by The Bank of New York Mellon, as Registrar. Beneficial interests in the
global bonds will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of

424B2
global bonds through any of DTC (in the United States), CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.,
known as CDS (in Canada), Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, known as Clearstream, or Euroclear
Bank S.A./N.V., known as Euroclear (in Europe and in Asia), if they are participants in such systems, or
indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems. CDS will hold interests on
behalf of its participants directly through its account at DTC. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold
interests as indirect participants in DTC.


S-5
Table of Contents
Except in limited circumstances, investors will not be entitled to have Bonds registered in their names,

will not receive or be entitled to receive Bonds in definitive form and will not be considered registered
holders thereof under the fiscal agency agreement.

Bonds will only be sold in minimum aggregate principal amounts of US$5,000 and integral multiples of

US$1,000 for amounts in excess of US$5,000. Initial settlement for the Bonds will be made in
immediately available funds. Principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable in U.S. dollars.

Withholding tax
Principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable by us without withholding or deduction for Canadian
withholding taxes to the extent permitted under applicable law, as set forth in this Prospectus
Supplement.

Status of the Bonds
The Bonds will be our direct unsecured obligations and as among themselves will rank pari passu and be
payable without any preference or priority. The Bonds will rank equally with all of our other unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness and obligations from time to time outstanding. Payments of principal of
and interest on the Bonds will be a charge on and payable out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund of
Ontario.

Risk factors
We believe that the following factors represent the principal risks inherent in investing in the Bonds:
there is no active trading market for the Bonds and an active trading market may not develop; the Bonds
are subject to modification and waiver of conditions in certain circumstances; exchange rates may affect
the value of judgments in Canadian currency; because the Bonds are held by or on behalf of DTC,
investors will have to rely on its procedures for transfer, payment and communication with us; the laws
governing the Bonds may change; investors may be subject to exchange rate risks and exchange controls;
and we have ongoing normal course business relationships with some of the underwriters and their
affiliates that could create the potential for, or perception of, conflict among the interests of underwriters
and prospective investors.
We may be contacted at the Ontario Financing Authority, 1 Dundas Street West, 14th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5G 1Z3. Our
telephone number is (416) 325-8142.

RISK FACTORS
We believe that the following factors may be material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with the Bonds and the risks

424B2
that may affect our ability to fulfill our obligations under the Bonds.
We believe that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in investing in the Bonds but we do not represent that the
statements below regarding the risks of holding any Bonds are exhaustive. Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out
elsewhere in this Prospectus Supplement and the Basic Prospectus (including any documents deemed to be incorporated by reference herein or
therein) and reach their own views prior to making any investment decision.
There is no active trading market for the Bonds and an active trading market may not develop
The Bonds will be new securities which may not be widely distributed and for which there is currently no active trading market. If the Bonds
are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount to their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market
for similar securities, general economic conditions and our financial condition. Investors may not be able to sell their Bonds at prices that will
provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a more highly developed secondary market. We have undertaken to the
underwriters to use all reasonable efforts to have the Bonds listed on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange as soon as possible
after the closing of the issue. We cannot guarantee that these applications will be approved, and settlement of the Bonds is not conditional on
obtaining the listing.
The Bonds are subject to modification and waiver of conditions in certain circumstances
The terms of the Bonds contain provisions for calling meetings of bondholders to consider matters affecting their interests generally. These
provisions permit defined majorities to bind all bondholders including bondholders who did not attend and vote at the relevant meeting and
bondholders who voted in a manner contrary to the majority.
The terms of the Bonds also provide that the parties to the fiscal agency agreement will be able to enter into agreements supplemental to the
fiscal agency agreement to create and issue further bonds ranking pari passu with the Bonds in all respects, or in all respects other than in respect
of the date from which interest will accrue and the first interest payment date, and that such further bonds shall be consolidated and form a single
series with the Bonds and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Bonds.
The terms of the Bonds also provide that the parties to the fiscal agency agreement will be able to amend the fiscal agency agreement and the
Bonds without notice to or consent of the bondholders for the purpose of curing ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective
provisions therein, or effecting the issue of further bonds as described above or in any other manner the parties to the fiscal agency agreement may
deem necessary or desirable and which will not, in their reasonable opinion, adversely affect the interests of the bondholders.
Exchange rates may affect the value of judgments in Canadian currency
The Currency Act (Canada) precludes a court in Canada from giving judgment in any currency other than Canadian currency. In Ontario, the
court's judgment may be based on a rate of exchange determined in accordance with section 121 of the Courts of Justice Act (Ontario), which rate
of exchange is usually a rate in existence on the business day immediately preceding the date of payment of the judgment. Holders would bear the
risk of exchange rate fluctuations between the time the Canadian dollar amount of the judgment is calculated and the time the holders receive
payment.
Because the Bonds are held by or on behalf of DTC, investors will have to rely on its procedures for transfer, payment and communication
with us
The Bonds will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered global bonds which will be deposited with DTC or its nominee. Except
in limited circumstances, investors will not be entitled to receive Bonds in

S-7
Table of Contents
definitive form. DTC or its participants will maintain records of the beneficial interests in the Bonds. Investors will be able to trade their beneficial
interests only through DTC.
We will discharge our payment obligations under the Bonds by making payments to DTC for distribution to its account holders. A holder of a
beneficial interest in the Bonds must rely on the procedures of DTC and its participants to receive payments under the Bonds. We have no
responsibility or liability for the records relating to, or payments made in respect of, beneficial interests in the Bonds.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/74615/000119312517296119/d442168d424b2.htm[9/28/2017 10:02:39 AM]


424B2
Holders of beneficial interests in the Bonds will not have a direct right to vote in respect of the Bonds. Instead, such holders will be permitted
to act only to the extent that they are enabled by DTC to appoint proxies. Similarly, holders of beneficial interests in the Bonds will not have a
direct right under the Bonds to take enforcement action against us in the event of a default under the Bonds.
The laws governing the Bonds may change
The terms of the Bonds are based on the laws of the Province and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein in effect as at the date of this
Prospectus Supplement. No assurance can be given as to the impact of any possible judicial decision or change to the laws of the Province or the
federal laws of Canada applicable therein or administrative practice after the date of this Prospectus Supplement.
Investors may be subject to exchange rate risks and exchange controls
We will pay principal and interest on the Bonds in the currency of the United States. This presents certain risks relating to currency
conversions if an investor's financial activities are denominated principally in a currency or currency unit (the "Investor's Currency") other than
the currency of the United States. These include the risk that exchange rates may significantly change (including changes due to devaluation of the
currency of the United States or revaluation of the Investor's Currency) and the risk that authorities with jurisdiction over the Investor's Currency
may impose or modify exchange controls. An appreciation in the value of the Investor's Currency relative to the currency of the United States
would decrease (1) the Investor's Currency-equivalent yield on the Bonds, (2) the Investor's Currency-equivalent value of the principal payable on
the Bonds and (3) the Investor's Currency-equivalent market value of the Bonds.
Government and monetary authorities may impose (as some have done in the past) exchange controls that could adversely affect an
applicable exchange rate. As a result, investors may receive less interest or principal than expected, or no interest or principal.
Investment in the Bonds involves the risk that subsequent changes in market interest rates may adversely affect the value of the Bonds.
Our underwriters may have real or perceived conflicts of interest
Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment banking and/or commercial
banking transactions with, and may perform services for us in the ordinary course of business and such activities could create the potential for or
perception of conflict among the interests of underwriters and prospective investors.
It is unclear how any renegotiation or withdrawal from NAFTA will affect the Province's trade and economy.
The U.S. presidential administration has announced its intention to renegotiate or withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement
("NAFTA") with Canada and Mexico. In May 2017, the U.S. presidential administration formally notified Congress of its intention to renegotiate
NAFTA. Negotiations commenced in August 2017; however, at this stage, it is uncertain what the outcome of the renegotiations will be or their
extent. Consequently, it is unclear how this would impact the Province's trade and economy.

DESCRIPTION OF BONDS
General
Our 2.20% Bonds due October 3, 2022, in the aggregate principal amount of US$2,000,000,000 will be issued under a fiscal agency
agreement dated as of October 3, 2017, between us and The Bank of New York Mellon, as registrar, fiscal agent, transfer agent and principal
paying agent (the "Registrar"), which defines your rights as a holder of the Bonds.
The information contained in this section and in the Basic Prospectus summarizes some of the terms of the Bonds and the fiscal agency
agreement. You should read the information set forth below together with the section "Description of Debt Securities" in the Basic Prospectus,
which summarizes the general terms of the Bonds and the fiscal agency agreement. This Prospectus Supplement describes the terms of the Bonds
in greater detail than the Basic Prospectus and may provide information that differs from the Basic Prospectus. If the information in this Prospectus
Supplement differs from the Basic Prospectus, you should rely on the information in this Prospectus Supplement. You should also read the fiscal
agency agreement and the exhibits thereto, including the form of Global Bonds (as defined below), for a full description of the terms of the Bonds.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/74615/000119312517296119/d442168d424b2.htm[9/28/2017 10:02:39 AM]


424B2
A copy of the fiscal agency agreement and its exhibits will be available for inspection at our office.
References to principal and interest in respect of the Bonds shall be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amounts which may be payable
as described below. See "Payment of Additional Amounts."
Status of the Bonds
The Bonds will be our direct unsecured obligations and as among themselves will rank pari passu and be payable without any preference or
priority. The Bonds will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and obligations from time to time
outstanding. Payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds will be a charge on and payable out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund of Ontario.
Form, Denomination and Registration
The Bonds will be issued in the form of fully registered permanent global bonds ("Global Bonds") registered in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, and held by The Bank of New York Mellon as custodian for DTC, or the DTC Custodian. Beneficial interests in the Global
Bonds will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect
participants in DTC. Investors may elect to hold interests in the Global Bonds through any of DTC (in the United States), CDS (in Canada) or
Clearstream or Euroclear (in Europe and in Asia) if they are participants of such systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants
in such systems. CDS will hold interests on behalf of its participants directly through its account at DTC and Clearstream and Euroclear will hold
interests on behalf of their participants through customers' securities accounts in Clearstream and Euroclear's names on the books of their
respective depositaries ("U.S. Depositaries"), which in turn will hold such interests in customers' securities accounts in the U.S. Depositaries'
names on the books of DTC. Except in the limited circumstances described herein, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Bonds will not be
entitled to have Bonds registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive Bonds in definitive form and will not be considered
registered holders thereof under the fiscal agency agreement. See "Title" and "Definitive Certificates."
Bonds will only be sold in minimum aggregate principal amounts of US$5,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 for amounts in excess of
US$5,000.
All Bonds will be recorded in a register maintained by the Registrar, and will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., for the benefit of
owners of beneficial interests in the Global Bonds, including, those beneficial owners which are participants of CDS, Clearstream and Euroclear.

S-9
Table of Contents
The Registrar will not impose any fees in respect of the Bonds, other than reasonable fees for the replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or
destroyed Bonds. However, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Bonds may incur fees payable in respect of the maintenance and operation
of the book-entry accounts in which such interests are held with the clearing systems.
Title
Subject to applicable law and the terms of the fiscal agency agreement, we, the Registrar, and any paying agent appointed pursuant to the
fiscal agency agreement shall deem and treat the registered holders of the Bonds as the absolute owners thereof for all purposes whatsoever
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary; and all payments to or on the order of the registered holders shall be valid and effectual to discharge our
liability and that of the Registrar in respect of the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Interest
The Bonds will bear interest from and including October 3, 2017 at a rate of 2.20% per annum. Interest will be payable in two equal
installments in arrears on April 3 and October 3 of each year, beginning April 3, 2018. Interest will be payable to the persons in whose name the
Bonds are registered at the close of business on the preceding March 19 or September 18 (the regular record dates), as the case may be. Interest on
the Bonds will cease to accrue on the date fixed for redemption or repayment unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused. Any
overdue principal or interest on the Bonds shall bear interest at the rate of 2.20% per annum (before and after judgment) until paid, or if earlier,
when the full amount of the moneys payable has been received by the Registrar and notice to that effect has been given in accordance with
"Notices" below. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/74615/000119312517296119/d442168d424b2.htm[9/28/2017 10:02:39 AM]


424B2
Yield
The yield, 2.202%, is calculated as the semi-annual expected return based on the cash flows of the Bonds assuming one continuous re-
investment rate for periodic coupon payments. The yield is calculated at the issue date on the basis of the initial public offering price. It is not an
indication of future yield.
Payments
Principal of and interest on the Bonds (including Bonds in definitive form if issued in exchange for the Global Bonds as described under
"Definitive Certificates") are payable by us in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment
of public or private debt to the persons in whose names the Bonds are registered on the record date preceding any interest payment date, the
Maturity Date or the date of redemption, as the case may be. Ownership positions within each clearing system will be determined in accordance
with the normal conventions observed by such system. The Registrar will act as our principal paying agent for the Bonds pursuant to the fiscal
agency agreement. The Registrar will pay amounts received from the Province directly to Cede & Co. Neither we nor the Registrar will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records of DTC, CDS, Clearstream or Euroclear relating to, or payments made by DTC, CDS,
Clearstream or Euroclear on account of, beneficial interests in the Global Bonds or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of DTC,
CDS, Clearstream or Euroclear relating to such beneficial interests. With respect to payments on Bonds issued in definitive form, see "Definitive
Certificates."
If any date for payment in respect of any Bond is not a business day, the registered holder thereof shall not be entitled to payment until the
next following business day, and no further interest shall be paid in respect of the delay in such payment, unless such next following business day
falls in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case the related payment will be made on the immediately preceding business day as if made
on the date

such payment was due. In this paragraph "business day" means a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York, in the City of London
and in the City of Toronto are not authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed. If the Bonds have been issued in definitive form
and a date for payment is a business day but is a day on which the paying agent is closed at the applicable place of payment, a registered holder
will not be entitled to payment at such location until the next succeeding day on which banking institutions in such place of payment are not
generally authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed, and no further interest shall be paid in respect of the delay in such
payment.
If definitive Bonds are issued and for so long as the Bonds are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such stock
exchange so require, the Province will appoint and maintain a paying and transfer agent in Luxembourg.
Further Issues
We may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the registered holders of the Bonds, create and issue further bonds ranking
pari passu with the Bonds in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further bonds
or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further bonds) so that such further bonds shall be consolidated and form a
single series with the Bonds and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Bonds. Any further bonds shall be issued
subject to agreements supplemental to the fiscal agency agreement.
Payment of Additional Amounts
All payments of, or in respect of, principal of and interest on the Bonds will be made without withholding of or deduction for, or on account
of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or charges of whatsoever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Government of
Canada, or any province or political subdivision thereof, or any authority thereof or agency therein having power to tax, unless such taxes, duties,
assessments or charges are required by law or by the administration or interpretation thereof to be withheld or deducted. In that event, we (subject
to our right of redemption described herein) will pay to the registered holders of the Bonds such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") as
will result (after withholding or deduction of any such taxes, duties, assessments or charges) in the payment to the holders of Bonds of the amounts
which would otherwise have been payable in respect of the Bonds in the absence of such taxes, duties, assessments or charges, except that no such
Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any Bond presented for payment:

(a)
by or on behalf of a holder who is subject to such taxes, duties, assessments or charges in respect of such Bond by reason of the holder

being connected with Canada otherwise than merely by the holding or ownership as a non-resident of Canada of such Bond;

(b)
more than 15 days after the Relevant Date, except to the extent that the holder thereof would have been entitled to such Additional

Amounts on the last day of such period of 15 days. For this purpose, the "Relevant Date" in relation to any Bond means whichever is
the later of:


(i)
the date on which the payment in respect of such Bond becomes due and payable; or

(ii)
if the full amount of the moneys payable on such date in respect of such Bond has not been received by the Registrar on or prior

to such date, the date on which notice is duly given to the holders of Bonds that such moneys have been so received; or

(c)
as a result of any tax, assessment, withholding or deduction required by Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code

of 1986, as amended ("FATCA"), any current or future U.S. Treasury Regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, any law,
regulation or other official guidance enacted

in any jurisdiction implementing FATCA, any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and any other jurisdiction to

implement FATCA, or any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under FATCA.
Maturity, Redemption and Purchases
The principal amount of the Bonds shall be due and payable on October 3, 2022 (the "Maturity Date"). The Bonds are not redeemable prior
to the Maturity Date unless specified events occur involving Canadian taxation as provided below.
The Bonds may be redeemed at our option in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 30 days' and not more than 60 days'
notice to registered holders of Bonds in accordance with "Notices" below (which notice shall be irrevocable), at 100% of the principal amount
thereof, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption, if (a) we have or will become obliged to pay Additional Amounts
as provided or referred to in "Payment of Additional Amounts" above as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of
Canada, or any province or political subdivision thereof, or any authority thereof or agency therein having power to tax, or any change in the
application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date of this
Prospectus Supplement, and (b) such obligation cannot be avoided by our taking reasonable measures available to us, provided that no such notice
of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which we would be obliged to pay such Additional Amounts were a
payment in respect of the Bonds then due. Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, we shall deliver to the
Registrar a certificate signed by one of our officials stating that we are entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts
showing that the conditions precedent to our right so to redeem have occurred.
We may at any time purchase Bonds in the open market, or by tender or by private contract at any price and may or may not cause the
Registrar to cancel any Bonds so purchased.
Definitive Certificates
No beneficial owner of Bonds will be entitled to receive Bonds in definitive form except in the limited circumstances described below.
If DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary in connection with the Global Bonds or ceases to be a clearing
agency registered under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and a successor depositary or clearing agency
is not appointed by us within a reasonable period after receiving such notice or becoming aware that DTC is no longer so registered, we will issue
or cause to be issued fully registered Bonds in definitive form upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, the Global Bonds. We may also
at any time and in our sole discretion determine not to have any of the Bonds held in the form of the Global Bonds and, in such event, we will
issue or cause to be issued fully registered Bonds in definitive form upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, such Global Bonds.
If definitive Bonds are issued and for so long as the Bonds are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such stock
exchange so require, the Province will appoint and maintain a paying and transfer agent in Luxembourg. Payments of interest on fully registered
Bonds in definitive form will be made by the Registrar by cheque or wire transfer in accordance with the fiscal agency agreement. Fully registered
