Version of section 212 from 2019-10-30 to 2022-10-02:


Marginal note:Extension of period established by Commissioner

 If, under paragraph 73(1)(a) of the Act, as it read immediately before the coming-into-force date, the Commissioner established a shorter period for replying in good faith to any requisition made by an examiner in connection with an examination, the Commissioner is authorized to extend that period for up to six months after the requisition was made — whether that time has expired or not — if the Commissioner considers that the circumstances justify the extension and if, before the expiration of that period, the extension is applied for and the fee set out in item 1 of Schedule 2 is paid.
