In the course of a general discussion of negative ACB issues for a partner or limited partner, CRA stated (TaxInterpretations translation):
[A] partner generally will be actively engaged in the activities of a partnership under the definition of "specified partner" in subparagraph (b)(i) of subsection 248(1) when directly involved in the day-to-day management and/or in the daily activities of the business of the partnership, other than financing, and dedicates time, work and energy in the pursuit of the business on a regular, continuous and substantial basis.
