PMET identifies Garoute as CPA with a Bachelor of Commerce from Université du Québec à Montréal and a Bachelor of Laws from Université de Montréal. The credential issuer/register was not independently checked.

**Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. Qualifications are disclosed by her current issuer; no external verification was completed.

**Relevance:** Directly relevant to CFO work, but independently verified credential status remains a gap.

## Suitability for the current role

### Current roster role and disclosed evidence: Natacha Garoute [natacha_garoute_current_role_fit]

Current role as of cutoff · analyst inference · low materiality

The selected V8.1 roster and the 2026 AIF identify Garoute as CFO, a role held since 23 January 2023. A 2024 issuer announcement appointed her Corporate Secretary in addition to CFO, but the 2026 AIF/current English and French leadership pages mention CFO only; no cessation date was found. Current status of the additional secretary role is unresolved. The reviewed sources do not independently verify qualifications or establish results personally attributable to her.

**Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. This is a limited analyst assessment from the issuer-reported current role; no personal outcome is inferred.

**Relevance:** Role match is relevant to present oversight, but the source set is too thin to assess delivery or effectiveness.
