Dear Sirs:
Re: Technical Interpretation Request Respecting the Application of Section 51 of the Income Tax Act (the "Act") to Stock Exchange Approved Coat Tail Provisions
We are writing in response to your letters of February 8 and December 18, 1990 wherein you requested that we reconsider our position regarding coat tail provisions, as described in our letter dated May 17, 1988.
We apologize for the delay, however, we conducted a thorough review of our previously stated position and an extensive analysis of your submissions. Regretfully, we must advise you that our interpretation remains the same as that described in our previous letter.
Yours truly,
