Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
We can talk about income trusts here because Bill C-28 contains a clause amending the Income Tax Act to bring the taxes imposed on dividends more in line with those that apply to interest and income from these trusts.
I would first like to ask you whether this measure, which was announced before your decision on income trusts, is still relevant. Why do we need to do anything about dividend taxation now that income trusts will be taxed at the same level as companies?
