I'm really excited about this issue of The Wealth
Letter. Scotiabank's Economics Department has
provided you with their Global Outlook for the Fall of
2007, there are two articles containing Tax ideas (one
covering Insurance strategies and the other on your
personal Income Taxes for '07), and finally there is a
copy of the Invitation to a Seminar I'm hosting on
October 24th focusing on Tax Advantaged Investing.
If you'd like to attend, let me know ASAP as we're
almost at full capacity now. As always, I
encourage you to call or e-mail me with any questions or
comments you might have.

Insurance Strategies
The Role Of Insurance in Tax
Planning
Insurance has typically been used to protect
against the risk of future financial loss.
However, more and more, innovative insurance solutions
are being used to safeguard the value of investors'
assets in a tax-efficient manner.
My
colleague Brian Quinlan, a Partner at the Chartered
Accounting firm Campbell Lawless has provided you
with an update on changes to your personal taxes and how
they will affect your Income Tax Return this
year. Don't be concerned that this article might
be too tax technical. As the Co-Author of "Tax
Tips for Canadians for Dummies", Brian is
very experienced at making your personal taxes
easier to understand.Click
