Noël, J.A. rejected a submission of the taxpayer that s. 87(2)(a) deemed an amalgamation of three corporations (one of which was an NRO) to be a new corporation only for purposes of the computation of its income (Division B) and taxable income (Division C). He stated (at para. 40):
The observation [in Pan Ocean] that an amalgamated corporation is "only" a new corporation for the purposes of computing income under Division B and where necessary as a consequence thereof, to Division C and E is obiter.
Accordingly, the amalgamated corporation also was a new corporation for purposes of the NRO rules contained in Division F.
