Background

The principal regulator in the Jurisdiction has received an application from the Filers for a decision under the securities legislation of the Jurisdiction of the principal regulator ("Legislation") for an exemption from (the "Requested Relief") the requirement in section 9.2 of National Instrument 81-106Investment Fund Continuous Disclosure ("NI 81-106") to prepare and file an annual information form (the "AIF").

For the purposes of this Decision, the term "Partnership Filers" shall include other partnerships established by the Manager from time to time that are identical to the existing Partnership Filers in all respects which are material to this decision.

(b) the Filer has provided notice that section 4.7(1) of Multilateral Instrument 11-102 -- Passport System is intended to be relied upon in each of the other provinces and territories of Canada (together with Ontario, the "Jurisdictions").

Interpretation

Terms defined in National Instrument 14-101 -- Definitions have the same meaning if used in this decision, unless otherwise defined.

Representations

This decision is based on the following facts represented by the Filers:

1. The principal offices of the Filers is located at 1 Adelaide Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 2V9.

2. The Manager is the manager of each Partnership Filer. The Manager and the Partnership Filers are not in default of securities legislation in any Jurisdiction.

3. The Manager is a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario, is registered in the categories of investment dealer and investment fund manager with the OSC, as an investment dealer and derivatives dealer with the Quebec Autorité des Marchés Financiers, as an investment dealer with the securities commissions of each of the other provinces of Canada and as a dealer member of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada.

4. It is a term of the partnership agreement governing each Partnership Filer that the general partner of the Partnership Filer is responsible for controlling the business of the Partnership Filer. Each general partner has delegated the direction of all day-to-day business operations and affairs to the Manager, including the authority to take all measures necessary or appropriate for the business, or ancillary thereto, and to ensure that the Partnership Filers comply with all necessary reporting and administrative requirements.

5. By subscribing for limited partnership units of a Partnership Filer (the "Units"), the limited partners of the Partnership Filer (the "Limited Partners") have agreed to the irrevokable power of attorney contained in the limited partnership agreement of such Partnership Filer and have thereby, in effect, consented to the granting of the Requested Relief.

6. Since its formation, each Partnership Filer's activities have been limited to (i) completing the issue of Units under its prospectus, (ii) investing its available funds in accordance with its investment objectives, and (iii) incurring expenses as described in its prospectus.

7. The Partnership Filers were formed to invest in certain flow-through shares ("Flow-Through Shares") and other securities of companies, limited partnerships, or other issuers whose principal business is mining exploration, development, and/or production, oil and gas exploration, development, and/or production, certain energy production, pulp or paper development, processing, and/or production, forestry development and/or production, or a related resource business, such as a pipeline or service company or utility ("Resource Companies") pursuant to agreements ("Resource Agreements") between each Partnership Filer and the relevant Resource Company. Under the terms of each Resource Agreement, each Partnership Filer subscribes for Flow-Through Shares of the Resource Company and the Resource Company agrees to incur and renounce to such Partnership Filer expenditures in respect of resource exploration and development which qualify as Canadian exploration expense or as Canadian development expense which may be renounced as Canadian exploration expense to such Partnership Filer.

8. CMP 2012 Resource Limited Partnership is a limited partnership formed pursuant to the Limited Partnerships Act (Ontario) (the "Act") on November 24, 2011. On January 27, 2012 it became a reporting issuer in each of the Jurisdictions. On or about July 1, 2014, it will be dissolved and the Limited Partners will receive their pro rata share of its net assets. The general partner of the CMP 2012 Resource Limited Partnership is CMP 2012 Corporation, an Ontario company that was incorporated on November 24, 2011.

9. CMP 2011 II Resource Limited Partnership is a limited partnership formed pursuant to the Act on November 16, 2010. On May 26, 2011 it became a reporting issuer in each of the Jurisdictions. On or about July 1, 2013, it will be dissolved and the Limited Partners will receive their pro rata share of its net assets. The general partner of the CMP 2011 II Resource Limited Partnership is CMP 2011 II Corporation, an Ontario company that was incorporated on November 16, 2010.

10. Canada Dominion Resources 2012 Limited Partnership is a limited partnership formed pursuant to the Act on November 24, 2011. On February 28, 2012 it became a reporting issuer in each of the Jurisdictions. On or about July 1, 2014, it will be dissolved and the Limited Partners will receive their pro rata share of its net assets. The general partner of the Canada Dominion Resources 2012 Limited Partnership is Canada Dominion Resources 2012 Corporation, an Ontario company that was incorporated on November 24, 2011.

11. It is currently intended that following each Partnership Filer's dissolution that each Partnership Filer will transfer its assets to Dynamic Managed Portfolios Ltd. ("DMP Ltd."), an open-ended mutual fund corporation, on a tax-deferred basis in exchange for DMP Resource Class shares ("DMP Shares"), a class of shares authorized by DMP Ltd., which constitutes a separate mutual fund. Upon dissolution of a Partnership Filer, the DMP Shares will be distributed to the Limited Partners of such Partnership Filer, pro rata, on a tax-deferred basis.

12. The Partnership Filers are not operating businesses. Rather, the Partnership Filers are short-term special purpose vehicles which are dissolved within approximately 2 years of their formation. The primary investment purpose of the Partnership Filers is not to achieve capital appreciation, although this is a secondary benefit, but rather to obtain for the Limited Partners the significant tax benefits that accrue when Resource Companies renounce resource exploration and development expenditures to the Partnership Filers through the Flow-Through Shares.

13. Based on the dissolution dates noted above, and the comparable structure of future Partnership Filers, each of the Partnership Filers will, while reporting issuers, pass two financial years ending December 31, but will not be in existence as of the third December 31 financial year end.

14. The Units are not and will not be listed or quoted for trading on any stock exchange or market. The Units are not redeemable by the Limited Partners. Generally, Units are not transferred by Limited Partners since Limited Partners must be holders of the Units on the last day of each fiscal year of a Partnership Filer in order to obtain the desired tax deduction.

15. Given the limited range of business activities to be conducted by the Partnership Filers, the short duration of their existence and the nature of the investment of the Limited Partners, the preparation and distribution of an AIF by each Partnership Filer will not be of any benefit to the Limited Partners and may impose a material financial burden on the Partnership Filer. Upon the occurrence of any material change to the Partnership Filer, Limited Partners would receive all relevant information from the material change reports the Partnership Filer is required to file in each of the Jurisdictions.

16. The Filers are of the view the Requested Relief is not against the public interest, is in the best interests of the Partnership Filers and their Limited Partners and represents the business judgment of the Manager uninfluenced by considerations other than the best interests of the Partnership Filers and their Limited Partners.

Decision

The principal regulator is satisfied that the decision meets the test set out in the Legislation for the principal regulator to make the decision.

The decision of the principal regulator under the Legislation is that the Requested Relief is granted.
