The tax treatment of those contributions must be adapted to what was done in Quebec, but contributions to the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan began on January 1, 2006. Taking into account the comments made by those who are also here, I can say that the bill follows a process that is complex and very slow, but that needs to be done correctly. When you look at the measures specific to the tax treatment of Quebec Parental Insurance Plan premiums, you see that, had they been treated in a separate bill, this issue would have been resolved long ago.
Section 118.7, as it appears in the brief, covers tax credits that are strictly applicable to salaried workers, and not entrepreneurs, as far as premiums paid go, including employment insurance premiums. That is the section in which a portion of the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan deduction is being incorporated. That goes against not only the purpose of the section, but also against the very nature of business income.
