This is in reply to your facsimile dated XXXXXXXXXX in which you requested amendments to the Ruling issued to the above-referenced taxpayer on XXXXXXXXXX, 2000 (the "Ruling").
Following our review of your request, the Ruling is revised as follows:
Insert new Ruling B.1 which reads:
For purposes of paragraph 149.1(3)(d) of the Act, the Foundation will not be considered to have incurred the debt (mortgage financing) described in paragraphs 7 and 8 above.
Notwithstanding the above-mentioned changes, we confirm that the Ruling will continue to be binding on the Agency in the manner described therein, provided that the proposed transactions are completed before XXXXXXXXXX.
Yours truly,
for Director
