Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Pardon me for speaking while Mr. Brison was trying to interrupt me.
I'm not surprised at the temerity of the Liberal Party that they would be proposing such mischievous activities. However, speaking to the substance of the motion, I would like to say that if this motion is adopted, it would have very serious fiscal implications. It would delay, of course, by one year the implementation of the thin capitalization measure relating to partnerships. This is an anti-avoidance measure. Delaying its implementation would provide an opportunity for taxpayers and their advisers to undertake inappropriate transactions in the interim.
It would encourage tax avoidance by individuals. I am really surprised that Mr. Brison would be advocating a position such as tax avoidance.
In the interests of good, solid fiscal management and sound public policy, this motion put forward by Mr. Brison should be defeated.
Thank you.
