New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	(3) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, with subsequent updates issued in August 2015 and March, April and May 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09 regarding ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This standard was developed to enable financial statement users to better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The update’s core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities are to use a five-step contract review model to ensure revenue is recognized, measured and disclosed in accordance with this principle. Those steps include the following: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Management has concluded that all of the Partnership’s material revenue streams fall outside of the scope of this guidance. The new standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or prospectively with the cumulative effect, if any, recognized as of the date of adoption. During 2018, the Partnership selected the modified retrospective transition method as of the date of adoption effective January 1, 2018. Management has concluded that the majority of total revenues consist of rental income from leasing arrangements, which are specifically excluded from the standard. The Partnership analyzed its remaining revenue streams, inclusive of gains and losses on real estate sales, and concluded there are no changes in revenue recognition with the adoption of the new standard. As such, adoption of the standard did not result in a cumulative adjustment recognized as of January 1, 2018, and the standard did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, which clarifies the definition of a business by adding guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption. We expect the new standard will result in all of our real estate acquisitions being considered asset acquisitions, whereby substantially all acquisition costs related to our real estate acquisitions will be capitalized. Prior to the adoption of the new standard, all of our real estate acquisitions completed after January 1, 2009, were considered acquisitions of businesses, whereby all acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred. During 2018, the Partnership has adopted the accounting pronouncement effective January 1, 2018, and applied this guidance prospectively. The adoption did not have a material effect on its financial statements.

(3) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements –

In May 2014, with subsequent updates issued in August 2015 and March, April and May 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09 regarding ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This standard was developed to enable financial statement users to better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The update’s core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Management has concluded that all of the Partnership’s material revenue streams fall outside of the scope of this guidance. The new standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or prospectively with the cumulative effect, if any, recognized as of the date of adoption. During 2018, the Partnership selected the modified retrospective transition method as of the date of adoption effective January 1, 2018. Management has concluded that the majority of total revenues consist of rental income from leasing arrangements, which are specifically excluded from the standard. The Partnership analyzed its remaining revenue streams, inclusive of gains and losses on real estate sales, and concluded there are no changes in revenue recognition with the adoption of the new standard. As such, adoption of the standard did not result in a cumulative adjustment recognized as of January 1, 2018, and the standard did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, which clarifies the definition of a business by adding guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.
