Just for the record, Revenue Canada doesn't make the laws or the regulations, it just collects the tax. The Department of Finance is responsible for our wonderful tax system. Revenue makes submissions to Finance requesting changes, but so do lots of other groups, and Finance doesn't always draft the legislation Revenue would like to see. Anyway, Mark is right. I wouldn't have the job I do if the tax system were easy to understand! Dave Sherman Toronto -- {allegra,cornell,decvax,ihnp4,linus,utzoo}!utcsrgv!dave
