The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2013 was $3.1 million as compared to $1.7 million in the 2012-quarter. The expected combined Canadian federal and provincial tax rate for 2013 is 25 percent. The effective tax rate in the 2013 three-month period of 27 percent is higher than the expected rate mainly due to non-deductible expenses and non-recognition of deferred tax assets for foreign losses.
