The Canadian government may allow an exemption or special credit to the increased tax on some trusts for Canadian retirees, while increasing the tax on foreign devil investors and non-retirees. .

My sense of it is that before all is said and done the bill will end up being something like-no new trusts and an 8 year phase in. if not my guess is that the larger ones will convert back and or do lbos, as ceos will alway seek the most advantageious structure. I plan on contacting the ones i own and suggest that they double the distributions even if they have to do asset sales to do so, as their first duty is to maximize the benefit to existing shareholders. As one of the sands ceos commented they need foreign investment to develop the sands and us investors are not going to rush in here if the can govt is going to change the rules anytime they feel like it.
