Highway Sawmills Limited v. Minister of National Revenue, 66 DTC 5116, [1966] CTC 150, [1966] SCR 384 -- summary under Scheme

By services, 28 November, 2015

In connection with finding that land upon which the timber had been removed should be regarded as part of a timber limit, in order to avoid the deduction by the taxpayer of depreciation in excess of the net cost to it of the land, Cartwright J. stated (p. 5120):

"The answer to the question what tax is payable in any given circumstances depends, of course, upon the words of the legislation imposing it. Where the meaning of those words is difficult to ascertain it may be of assistance to consider which of two constructions contended for brings about a result which conforms to the apparent scheme of the legislation."
