(e) if the liquidation and dissolution is a qualifying liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate, any loss of the taxpayer in respect of the disposition of a disposed share is deemed to be nil.
Qualifying liquidation and dissolution
(3.1) For the purposes of subsections (3), (3.3) and (3.5), a “qualifying liquidation and dissolution” of a foreign affiliate (referred to in this subsection as the “disposing affiliate”) of a taxpayer means a liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate in respect of which the taxpayer elects in accordance with prescribed rules and
(a) the taxpayer owns not less than 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of each class of the capital stock of the disposing affiliate throughout the liquidation and dissolution; or
(b) both
(i) the percentage determined by the following formula is greater than or equal to 90%:
A/B
where
A is the amount, if any, by which
(A) the total of all amounts each of which is the fair market value, at the time at which it is distributed, of a property that is distributed by the disposing affiliate to the taxpayer in the course of the liquidation and dissolution in respect of shares of the capital stock of the disposing affiliate
exceeds
(B) the total of all amounts each of which is an amount owing (other than an unpaid dividend) by, or an obligation of, the disposing affiliate that was assumed or cancelled by the taxpayer in consideration for a property referred to in clause (A), and
B is the amount, if any, by which
(A) the total of all amounts each of which is the fair market value, at the time at which it is distributed, of a property that is distributed by the disposing affiliate to a shareholder of the disposing affiliate in the course of the liquidation and dissolution in respect of shares of the capital stock of the disposing affiliate
exceeds
(B) the total of all amounts each of which is an amount owing (other than an unpaid dividend) by, or an obligation of, the disposing affiliate that was assumed or cancelled by a shareholder of the disposing affiliate in consideration for a property referred to in clause (A), and
(ii) at the time of each distribution of property by the disposing affiliate in the course of the liquidation and dissolution in respect of shares of the capital stock of the disposing affiliate, the taxpayer holds shares of that capital stock that would, if an annual general meeting of the shareholders of the disposing affiliate were held at that time, entitle it to 90% or more of the votes that could be cast under all circumstances at the meeting.
Net distribution amount
(3.2) For the purposes of the description of A in paragraph (3)(d), “net distribution amount” in respect of a distribution of distributed property means the amount determined by the formula
A – B
where
A is the cost to the taxpayer of the distributed property as determined under paragraph (3)(c), and
B is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount owing (other than an unpaid dividend) by, or an obligation of, the disposing affiliate that was assumed or cancelled by the taxpayer in consideration for the distribution of the distributed property.
Suppression election
(3.3) For the purposes of paragraph (3)(a), if the liquidation and dissolution is a qualifying liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate and the taxpayer would, in the absence of this subsection and, for greater certainty, after taking into account any election under subsection 93(1), realize a capital gain (the amount of which is referred to in subsection (3.4) as the “capital gain amount”) from the disposition of a disposed share, the taxpayer may elect, in accordance with prescribed rules, that distributed property that was, immediately before the disposition, capital property of the disposing affiliate be deemed to have been disposed of by the disposing affiliate to the taxpayer for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount claimed (referred to in subsection (3.4) as the “claimed amount”) by the taxpayer in the election.
Conditions for subsection (3.3) election
(3.4) An election under subsection (3.3) in respect of distributed property disposed of in the course of the liquidation and dissolution is not valid unless
(a) the claimed amount in respect of each distributed property does not exceed the amount that would, in the absence of subsection (3.3), be determined under paragraph (3)(a) in respect of the distributed property; and
(b) the amount determined by the following formula does not exceed the total of all amounts each of which is the capital gain amount in respect of a disposed share:
A – B
where
A is the total of all amounts that would, in the absence of subsection (3.3), be determined under paragraph (3)(a) to be the proceeds of disposition of a distributed property in respect of which an election under subsection (3.3) is made by the taxpayer, and
B is the total of all amounts each of which is the claimed amount in respect of a distributed property referred to in the description of A.
Taxable Canadian property
(3.5) For the purposes of paragraph (3)(a), the distributed property is deemed to have been disposed of by the disposing affiliate to the taxpayer for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base of the distributed property to the disposing affiliate immediately before the time of its disposition, if
(a) the liquidation and dissolution is a qualifying liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate;
(b) the distributed property is, at the time of its disposition, taxable Canadian property (other than treaty-protected property) of the disposing affiliate that is a share of the capital stock of a corporation resident in Canada; and
(c) the taxpayer and the disposing affiliate have jointly elected in accordance with prescribed rules.
(2) Subsection (1) applies in respect of liquidations and dissolutions of foreign affiliates of a taxpayer that begin after February 27, 2004. However, if the taxpayer elects in writing under this subsection in respect of all of its foreign affiliates and files the election with the Minister of National Revenue on or before the day that is the later of the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the taxpayer’s taxation year that includes the day on which this Act receives royal assent and the day that is one year after the day on which this Act receives royal assent,
(a) subsection 88(3) of the Act, as enacted by subsection (1), also applies to property received by the taxpayer after February 27, 2004 and before August 19, 2011 on a redemption, acquisition or cancellation of shares of the capital stock of, on a payment of a dividend by, or on a reduction of the paid-up capital of, a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer; and
(b) in respect of property described in paragraph (a) and property received by the taxpayer on a liquidation and dissolution of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer that began after February 27, 2004 and before August 19, 2011,

(a) subject to subsections (3.3) and (3.5), the distributed property is deemed to have been disposed of at that time by the disposing affiliate to the taxpayer for proceeds of disposition equal to the relevant cost base (within the meaning assigned by subsection 95(4)) to the disposing affiliate of the distributed property in respect of the taxpayer, immediately before that time, if the distributed property
(i) was received on a liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate that is a qualifying liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate, or
(ii) was a share of the capital stock of another foreign affiliate of the taxpayer that was, immediately before that time, excluded property (within the meaning assigned by subsection 95(1)) of the disposing affiliate;
(b) if paragraph (a) does not apply to the distributed property, the distributed property is deemed to have been disposed of at that time by the disposing affiliate to the taxpayer for proceeds of disposition equal to the distributed property’s fair market value at that time;
(c) the distributed property is deemed to have been acquired, at that time, by the taxpayer at a cost equal to the amount determined under paragraph (a) or (b) to be the disposing affiliate’s proceeds of disposition of the distributed property;
(d) if the taxpayer disposed of shares of the capital stock of the disposing affiliate on a liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate (each such share being referred to in paragraph (f) and subsections (3.3) and (3.4) as a “disposed share”) or on a redemption, acquisition or cancellation of shares of the capital stock of the disposing affiliate, the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the shares are deemed to be the amount determined by the formula
A – B
where
A is the total of all amounts each of which is the cost to the taxpayer of a distributed property, as determined under paragraph (c), and
B is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount owing (other than an unpaid dividend) by, or an obligation of, the disposing affiliate that was assumed or cancelled by the taxpayer because of the liquidation and dissolution or the redemption, acquisition or cancellation;
(e) if the taxpayer received the distributed property as a dividend or a reduction of paid-up capital, the amount of the dividend paid by the disposing affiliate or the amount of the reduction of the paid-up capital of the disposing affiliate, as the case may be, is deemed to be the amount determined by the formula
C – D
where
C is the total of all amounts each of which is the cost to the taxpayer of a distributed property, as determined under paragraph (c), and
D is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount owing (other than an unpaid dividend) by, or an obligation of, the disposing affiliate that was assumed or cancelled by the taxpayer because of the payment of the dividend or the reduction of paid-up capital; and
(f) if the distributed property was received on a liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate that is a qualifying liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate, any loss of the taxpayer in respect of the disposition of a disposed share is deemed to be nil.
(ii) section 88 of the Act is to be read without reference to its subsection (3.2), as enacted by subsection (1).

Dividend from foreign affiliate
(2) For the purposes of this Act, an amount is deemed to be a dividend paid or received, as the case may be, at any time on a share of a class of the capital stock of a non-resident corporation that is a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer if the amount is the share’s portion of a pro rata distribution (other than a distribution made in the course of a liquidation and dissolution of the corporation, on a redemption, acquisition or cancellation of the share by the corporation, or on a qualifying return of capital in respect of the share) made at that time by the corporation in respect of all the shares of that class.
