Under a federal program for fostering Maritimes development, the taxpayer received interest-free advances, which were not characterized as forgivable loans - but were repayable only out of a percentage of future revenues. The advances were "government assistance" which reduced the taxpayer's SR&ED credits. Although they were not subsidies or forgivable loans, they were "any other form of assistance," which Nadon JA found should be considered to be the case unless "the public authority in question is acting in a business rather than a governance capacity." See summary under s. 127(9) - government assistance.
