A DPSP is a type of registered plan that allows employers to share their profits with their employees.
Employees do not contribute to a DPSP, and they do not pay taxes on the contributions until they withdraw them. Employers can deduct their contributions to a DPSP from their taxable income, subject to certain limits and conditions.

A short-term bond fund combines characteristics of money market and bond funds, aiming to preserve capital while generating higher income than a money market fund due to its short duration. The feedback from the document states:
"A short-term bond fund is part money market fund and part bond fund. You would expect its investment objectives to reflect this combination. A short-term bond fund's objectives are to preserve capital and generate better current income than is likely from a money market fund. Although there is some capital gain potential, you would not expect this to be a key objective given the short duration of this type of fixed-income fund."

Canada's income tax system is based on a progressive tax structure, which means that individuals pay higher tax rates as their income increases. There are different tax brackets for different income levels, and each bracket has a corresponding tax rate. The federal government and each provincial or territorial government set their own tax rates and brackets, which may vary depending on the jurisdiction. Therefore, individuals pay both federal and provincial or territorial income tax, based on their taxable income and the tax rates applicable to their income brackets in their respective jurisdictions12 References = Canadian Investment Funds Course, Unit 5: Types of Investments, Lesson 6: Taxation, Section

A corporate bond bought at a discount will provide a capital gain at maturity, as the investor receives the par value, which is higher than the purchase price. The feedback from the document states:
"Bond prices are quoted using an index with a base value of 100. A bond trading at 100 is said to be trading at face value, or par. A bond trading below par, say at a price of 98, is said to be trading at a discount... So if you buy a bond at a discount, at maturity, you will receive the par or face value. The difference between the discounted price and the par value received at maturity is considered a capital gain."
