Whereas in and by section 27 of the Canada-Barbados Income Tax Agreement Act, 1980, assented to on December 17, 1980, being Part IX of chapter 44 of the Statutes of Canada, 1980-81, it is provided that notice of the day the Agreement between Canada and Barbados for the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion with respect to taxes on income and on capital, set out in Schedule IX to the said Act, comes into force shall be given by proclamation of the Governor in Council published in the Canada Gazette;

And Whereas Article XXXI of the Agreement provides that each country shall notify to the other the completion of the measures necessary to give the Agreement the force of law within its jurisdiction and that the Agreement shall enter into force on the date on which the later notification is made;

Now Know You that We, by and with the advice of Our Privy Council for Canada, do by this Our Proclamation give notice that the said Agreement between Canada and Barbados for the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion with respect to taxes on income and on capital, came into force on December 22, 1980.
