Q: I am planning to set up the Smith Manoeuvre to accelerate my mortgage re-payment and invest in a solid blue chip portfolio of dividend stocks , interest tax deductibility etc..I am trying to create a solid stock portfolio and I'm looking for 8 - 12 names, well diversified, targeting around 5% yield give or take a bit but 5% average would be good to cover the interest cost, trying to make this cash flow neutral.

Q: A follow up to Steve's question. All the positives which you have noted regarding LNF are impressive. I am wondering about the government funds they received from the CEBA program. Not having that in the coming quarters will make quarter over quarter comparisons less attractive... how much of an impact will this have?
