The Court found that the City's activity of acquiring public transportation facilities and assets would have been a "business" but for the fact that this activity was part of its making of exempt municipal transit services to the Calgary public. Rothstein J. stated (at para. 25) "I see no reason why the words 'undertaking of any kind whatever' would exclude the construction of a public transit facility."
