Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank all the witnesses who are here this morning for discussing this crucial matter for many people and many businesses.
Please allow me to raise two points briefly before I get to my questions.
We've heard a lot about family farms and the challenges of intergenerational transfer. My NDP colleague Guy Caron had tabled a proposal to improve this, but it was rejected by Parliament, unfortunately. We already had this concern prior to the proposed changes that we are currently considering.
We agree with those of you who are proposing an extension of the consultation period. They began on July 18, but for many small businesses and farmers, the date was problematic. We hope to hold consultations until December 16.
As long as we're talking about tax fairness, as Mr. Roberts of the CLC said, we should discuss tax loopholes for CEOs, rules on tax evasion and international agreements we have with tax havens, who are not at all affected at this time.
Dr. Marcoux, I would just like to verify something. The doctors who are members of your association are able to buy RRSPs or put money in a tax-free savings account, right?
