Thank you to all of you for your interventions.
Ms. Pearson, we've had philanthropic organizations propose the elimination of capital gains tax on gifts of land or private company holdings. In the past it was commenced by a Liberal government; we cut the capital gains tax on gifts of publicly listed securities. The Conservatives continued and further reduced the capital gains tax on gifts of publicly listed securities.
There's a lot of interest on this committee in unleashing a lot of potential contributions to a number of your organizations, whether you're talking about medical research or museums--the cultural sector. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on the proposal to make it easier to give, or at least not to tax people when they're giving significant contributions.
