Q: I hold ET in a registered account, and as it is a MLP I've had non-resident taxes withheld from dividends. They have indicated that they will likely convert to a c-corporation, and I'm wondering how that would affect the withholding tax on distributions, and if that would automatically mean a lower distribution.

Q: What with the obvious appeal of Enb:CA and Ppl:CA, you may not get too many questions regarding U.S. pipelines. Regardless, can you give me your opinion of BPMP vs Enbridge/Pembina from a tax-resistance, dividend reliability and valuation perspective? Do you perceive other pipeline companies as greater value/dividend opportunities?

Q: Exchanging the BIPC shares for the BIP.UN shares - there was an article by John Heinzl in the Globe stating that the BIPC shares are worth a few dollars more so if you exchanged them you would be losing a few dollars a shares because the BIP.UN shares are worth less. There are many questions out there concerning this and so I tried the search column at 5i that hopefully someone else wrote in about it - could you clarify John Heinzl's position on this? Thank you,
Dennis

Q: I had not previously followed TELUS because I already had BCE and AT&T. I recently threw in the towel on Vodaphone, although since then VOD is getting positive comments in some investing letters. I have however been intrigued by TELUS after I noticed its presence at clinics and hospitals . Telus invested in health-oriented companies and am further impressed by its recent acquisitioni of the Canadian part of ADT.
Would the strategies being followed by TELUS encourage you to start a position in TELUS? Is T.ca now morphing into a growth company too? Does it have the cash flow and earnings to continue aggressive growth strategies ?

Q: TD Waterhouse has BIP as a buy. It uses two valuation metrics. EV/EBITDA and P/FFO. Which is better in your opinion. Why don’t they use P/E. Final question, is there another company I could use to compare against?
Thanks.
