Québec Family Class: All family members and/or dependents of Québec Class Members who would have been entitled to assert a claim for compensation in the Québec Action;

Ontario National Class: All persons resident in Canada, excluding residents of Québec, who purchased and/or used ACTOS®, and all persons resident in Canada who purchased and/or used APO-Pioglitazone and/or SANDOZ-Pioglitazone, during the Class Period, and their estates, administrators or other legal representatives, heirs or beneficiaries; and
