     REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

     (Delivered from the Bench at Ottawa, Ontario,

     on Tuesday, May 27, 1997)

MARCEAU, J.A.

     We are all of the view that this appeal cannot succeed.

     The argument, using the Bill of Rights as an aid to interpretation, does not convince us that we should depart from the jurisprudence of this Court1 as to how section 165(3) of the Income Tax Act should be construed.

     The appeal will be dismissed with costs.
