Income tax refunds

If I declare bankruptcy in 2011 which would be for 21 months I understand I would lose my 2011 tax refund. Do I get to keep any 2012 tax refund?

Thanks

The legislation reads that when you file for personal bankruptcy in Canada you lose tax refund only for the year you filed for bankruptcy. So 2011 should be the only year you lose.
