Attention: 19(1)
November 20, 1992
Dear Sirs:
This is in reply to your letter of October 23, 1992 concerning the qualified investment and foreign property rules relating to a registered retirement savings plan ("RRSP").
It is our view that paragraph 146(1)(g) and subsection 206(1) of the Income Tax Act (the "Act") do not apply to an "insured plan"; i.e., an RRSP that is a contract described in subparagraph 146(1)(j)(i) of the Act.
Our comments are an expression of opinion only and are not binding on the Department as explained in paragraph 21 of Information Circular 70-6R2. We trust, however, that they are of assistance.
Yours truly,
for DirectorFinancial Industries DivisionRulings Directorate
