Ms. Roma Cormier is a linguist, specializing in Asian languages. As the daughter of a Canadian diplomat, she has become familiar with the many customs and practices found throughout Asia. In 2020, a headhunting firm in B.C. connected her with Golden Mountain Experiences (GME), a public company, which had begun operations in Whistler, B.C. GME had need of a representative to promote their Canadian services to Asian tour operators and executives. When her mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Roma moved into her house in Ottawa to help care for her. Her mother died in early 2020, leaving Roma her considerable estate, including her house. When GME offered her a position in November, 2020 with a start date of January 1, 2021, she immediately accepted. The final tax return of her mother stated the fair market value of her house was $525,000 on March 3, 2020. When Roma put the house on the market on November 15, 2020, the listing price was only $450,000 because a nearby landfill had inexplicably started to emit a very foul odor. At the urging of the listing agent who said the stench was growing stronger, she accepted an offer for $390,000 in April, 2021, resulting in a $135,000 loss on this property. Other Information: Other information relevant to 2021 is as follows: 1. GME owned a suite hotel and offered her the use of a unit there at a rate of $2,000 per month.

After doing extensive renovations, she moves out of the hotel and into her townhouse on July 1, 2021. 2. As an incentive to accept the position, GME agreed to compensate her for one-half of any loss on the sale of her Ottawa home. The $67,500 [(1/2)($135,000)] payment was made on May 30, 2021. 3. In order to help Roma with the purchase of her new townhouse, GME provided her with a $100,000 interest free housing loan. The funds are provided to Roma on May 1, 2021.
