Dear Sirs:
This is in reply to your letter dated October 24, 1989, and is further to ours of October 16, 1989, regarding the application of subsection 104(4) of the Income Act ("Act") to your example.
In our view subsection 104(4) of the Act will not apply at the time of the death of the survivor of A and B in the example in out letter of October 16, 1989.

We trust that our comments are sufficient for your purposes.
Your truly,
