Typical Canadian government garbage – just keep in mind that as usual they are just talking out of both sides of their mouths again.

I read about the BCE income trust idea as well – I am going to keep an eye on this as I too own BCE. If it does happen, it will be interesting to see if the trust payouts become higher than the current dividend payout due to reduced income taxes and all the other factors that seem to make an income trust structure more efficient.

They talk mostly about taxing income trusts in some manner, instead of reducing tax on dividends.<BR/><BR/>I am not sure it is a good idea that BCE becomes an income trust. After all, they face a lot of new competition for local telephony now and they have to constantly make capital investments. I'm not complaining if it unlocks value :) Just that I will consider selling when it happens. You are right.
