Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all of you for being here. I could ask each and every one of you a question, but I have limited time so I'm going to start with Mr. Bonnett or Mr. Ross.
First, let me thank you for the recommendations you put on the record. Those constructive recommendations are actually helpful, because this is a consultation period to make sure there aren't unintended consequences.
In terms of my colleague's earlier question about the advantages and inequities, I want to ask a question. Even amongst incorporated farmers, let's say.... I had my first job when I was 16. It was not in a small business, but the idea is that a lot of young people work when they're 16 or 17. In an incorporated small business with a child of that age whose parents own a farm, say, those parents would not be able to sprinkle income. In comparison, a farm maybe right next door with children who are 21 and working in the business has a very clear advantage of being able to sprinkle income.
Both are legitimately working on the farm, but one has a sprinkling advantage that the other doesn't. Can you not acknowledge the fact that even within incorporated businesses this arbitrary age for sprinkling creates some inequality that should at least be reviewed and determined?
