"...Min purchase is 1000 shares, max is 50000..."

Just to prevent confusion, those are the min and max for the ECU units. The minimum is 1000 due to the low price of the offering. Usually the minimum would be 100 shares. The maximum tends to vary.

BTW, TD Waterhouse still shows the issue as "open". And the prospectus is available on their new issue pages. The prospectus doesn't seem to be available at www.ecu.ca though, and it doesn't seem to be posted on Sedar yet.
