(Tax / Provincial Taxation Power / Constitution)

D lived in Ontario but received retirement benefits from his previous partnership in Quebec.  Although he did no business in Quebec, D was taxed by Revenu Québec for the income earned from the retirement allowance.  The Court found that this taxation was constitutional; Quebec could tax D on his income earned in the province.
