Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether a company can claim an exemption on capital gains when selling a commercial property, particularly if depreciation has been claimed under the Income Tax Act. Participants suggest that depreciation claims might affect taxability, and capital gains may only arise if the asset sold was the last in its depreciation block or if the block's value becomes negative. Generally, capital gains on depreciable assets are considered taxable.

I  think there is no exemption on capital gains and it’s mandatory. 

I also think you will be claiming last periods depreciation plus this years if you have a policy to claim in arrears. Because once you classify the asset is held for sale, depreciation ceases. 

I think taxability may not arise.
if there are other assets in the block then capital gains might not arise.

capital gain would arise only when the block turns negative or when that asset which was sold was the last asset in the block
No there is no such exemption, CG is mandatory
Capital Gain is changeable to tax, if on depreciable assets block is finished
