In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, originals, duplicates, certified or conformed copies of such records, agreements, documents, and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of BPY and GP ULC and have made such other and further investigations, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth.
In rendering this opinion, we have assumed that (i) the transactions described in the Registration Statement will be consummated in the manner set forth therein; (ii) the representations made in the Certificate are true, correct, and complete and will remain true, correct, and complete at all times; and (iii) any representation set forth in the Certificate qualified by knowledge, intention, belief, or any similar qualification is and will remain true, correct, and complete without regard to such qualification. In addition, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions, and limitations stated herein and in the Registration Statement, we are of the opinion that the statements set forth in the Registration Statement under the caption "CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS," insofar as they express conclusions as to the application of Canadian federal income tax law, represent our opinion as to the matters discussed therein.
Our opinion is based upon the current provisions of theIncome Tax Act (Canada) R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Supp.), as amended, and theIncome Tax Regulations made thereunder (collectively, the "Tax Act"), all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof and the current published administrative and assessing policies and practices of the Canada Revenue Agency. Any change in applicable laws or facts and circumstances, or any inaccuracy in the statements, facts, assumptions, or representations on which we have relied, may affect the continuing validity of the opinion set forth herein. We assume no responsibility to inform you of any such change or inaccuracy. No opinion is expressed concerning any law other than the federal income tax law of Canada.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm under the captions "CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS" and "LEGAL MATTERS" in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby agree that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required by the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules thereunder.
