Q: Regarding your earlier response concerning rate reset preferred shares with a minimum reset of 5% (ALA.PR.I, BPO.PR.C, BPO.PR.E, ENB.PF.I, PPL.PR.K, BIP.PR.B), what is the tax implications of the Brookfield ones noted above? Is it foreign income? Are they treated as eligible dividends? Any withholding tax from a U.S. partnership that cannot be recovered would impact the advertised yields. Thanks!
