Of our members, 57% say that they are facing labour problems that are limiting their ability to consider expanding, to produce and sell more. However, I do not at all share the view that the income splitting measure would automatically have a negative effect.
Income splitting is capped at $2,000. I am not prepared to say that someone is going to give up a job paying $30,000, $25,000 or $20,000 a year because of a measure like that. I am not sure I can connect the dots there. We have seen no evidence that it will happen. We will have to see.
