We are writing in reply to your email of XXXXXXXXXX in which you requested certain changes to the advance income tax ruling 2007-023158 issued on

The Original Ruling is amended as follows:

"Fonds commun de placement" ("FCP") means, pursuant to Article 5 of the Law of 2002, for the purpose of the application of Part I of the Law of 2002, an undivided collection of transferable securities and other liquid assets enumerated in Article 41 of the Law of 2002, made up and managed according to the principle of risk-spreading on behalf of joint owners whose rights are represented by units intended for placement with the public by means of a public or private offer".
2. The words "under the law of contract" in paragraph 1 under the heading "Facts" are deleted.
We confirm that the rulings given in the Original Ruling, as amended by this letter, will continue to be binding on the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") subject to the same limitations and qualification set out therein provided that new investments made by the Fund, including investments in Canadian securities, have commenced before XXXXXXXXXX
