Finance committee  Yes. I have something to add. Several aspects still haven't been considered. My colleague just listed a number of them. I spoke a little about them earlier when discussing the measures coming to an end, such as grants, other programs or the deferral of tax payments, taxes and so

Finance committee  First, most of our members were very pleased when the government announced the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy of 75%. It should be noted that, although a number of members will use them, the vast majority of members weren't necessarily very satisfied with the loans and loan guaran

Finance committee  Hi, and thank you very much for inviting me to share our point of view on this issue. I will deliver my remarks in French, but just before I do, I just want to highlight the fact that the Conseil du patronat du Québec, the Quebec Employers' Council, represents more than 70,000 em

Human Resources committee  The costs will depend on the regulations made under the act. As we indicated in our brief, it would be best if the regulations are provided at the same time as the law comes into force. In any case, employers have the duty to maintain a healthy workplace, among other things. So t

Human Resources committee  I would ask Mr. Lamy to answer your question.

Human Resources committee  Yes. We hear you very well. Thank you.

Human Resources committee  My name is Yves-Thomas Dorval. I'm the CEO of the Conseil du patronat du Québec, the Quebec Employers' Council. I'd like to thank the committee for hearing us on Bill C-65. I will speak in French, but you can ask your questions in English. Of course, for people who need it, the

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. In most other countries of the world, the intent is to delay the age at which one can fully benefit from retirement advantages. It isn't complicated. The fact that people live longer means that today people are going, for the most part, to live longer after

Finance committee  I apologize for that. There is also the matter of transparency with regard to the people who are going to put money aside. They will have to be told that it will take close to 40 years before they can count on that money. We should also consider—and it is unfortunate that we do

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will speak in French today. I will try to speak slowly to allow the translation to be effective. Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and dear members of this committee. First, I'd like to highlight the fact that the Quebec Employers Council represents more

Finance committee  As for your second question, obviously if you ask the manager of a business or even an individual who now has to complete two tax returns, who now has to deal with two series of audits and so on, we see that there is a problem. As such, I won't address the political aspect of a p

Finance committee  Yes, Canada is attractive. We have a competitive environment for operating costs, taxation and so on. These are not a problem. However, the same isn't true for predictability and approval times. A company that wants to invest in a natural resources project or in a large factory,

Finance committee  Thank you for the question. I reinforce what you have said about impacts from increasing corporate taxation, but there are plenty of studies that show also the impacts of not doing so. First of all, remember that immigrant investors, if they are not coming here to invest, will

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. First of all, Canada's infrastructure is not mature; it is aging. The work that was done more than 30 years ago has to be done over again, including sanitation infrastructure, water mains, sewers, drinking water, and so forth. There is also the infrastruct

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the committee members for inviting us today and listening to what we have to say. We very much appreciate the opportunity. Given how quickly five minutes goes by, I'm going to get right to the heart of the matter. My apologies to the interprete
