Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for attending today and giving evidence.
I noticed from the Canadian Bar Association's submission that they are suggesting this is a very worthwhile accomplishment, and indeed you mentioned that greater tax efficiency and fairness is a great goal to move towards. I think that is very true.
My questions relate primarily to your comments in your submission regarding some of the things, but first of all, do you think that as parliamentarians and as bureaucrats we have an obligation, some type of fiduciary obligation, to get this right? Obviously a tax deduction is a great advantage for corporations and individuals to have, and we certainly are carriers of the Canadian people's obligations to make sure that things are done properly. Is that fair to say?
