Dear XXXXXXXXXX:
Re: Grazing Leases - Qualified Farm Property
We are writing in response to your letter of December 13, 1995, wherein you inquired whether grazing leases would qualify as qualified farm property within the meaning of subsection 110.6(1) of the Income Tax Act (the "Act").
As we indicated to you during our telephone conversation (Chouinard/XXXXXXXXXX), for purposes of the definition of "qualified farm property" in subsection 110.1(6) of the Act, real property includes a leasehold interest, such as grazing leases, provided the lease is for land and farming.
We trust that these comments will be of assistance.
Yours truly,
R. Albert
