Borrowing money against a rental house to buy a principal residence in Canada

QUESTION: Hi David,

I own two homes. I have one rental property worth 500,000 with a mortgage
of 250,000.

I want to sell my principle residence to buy a new one. I want to do an
equity take out on the rental to enhance the down payment on my new home.
Is the increased mortgage on the rental tax deductable?

thx
