                                       (Delivered from the bench at Montréal, Quebec

                                                      on Tuesday, January 9, 2001)

NOËL J.A.

[1]         Like the trial judge (see [1999] F.C.J. No. 921 (Q.L.)), we consider that the taxpayer did not as surety hold a claim during his 1993 taxation year, and if the opposite is true, the amount of his claim was nil for tax purposes. He therefore incurred no losses on a business investment.


[2]         The appeal will be dismissed with costs.
