Hello, I would appreciate knowing what are the RRSP foreign content implications when a Canadian public company is taken over by a non-Canadian company via share-swapping. Once the shares of the non-Canadian company are placed into my RRSP will I have to apply the 20% foreign content limit, or will this be waived as the original shares purchased were deemed to be "Canadian content." A good current example of this is the Alcatel takeover of Newbridge. Thanks in advance. Khaled.
