--and ask him my first question.
Essentially, your key request is that there be a one-year deferral of the realization of capital gains or recapture. Your main resistance, as I would understand it, comes from the Department of Finance, who says they can't keep track of what happens to $100,000 worth of capital gains--to use an arbitrary figure--because that's just too difficult.
The second area of objection is that if you give it to the real estate industry, why not to a small entrepreneur, or why not to somebody in agriculture, or why not to somebody in some other field?
I'd be interested in hearing your argument with the Department of Finance--I think that's primarily where your argument is--as to why the real estate industry should be given special deferral rights, if you will, that no other Canadian would enjoy.
