Let me just start with a statement of the values of our government. We want to absolutely make sure that our time in office is one that is very progressive in terms of the ability of women to be successful getting into the workforce, to be successful in the workforce, and to have the ability to manage their lives in a way that enables them to do what they want to do in their careers at the same time as whatever other things they might want to do with their lives. This is a really important issue for us. We will not do anything that will, in any way, impede those overall goals.
For that reason, I am very much in listening mode to the kind of testimony you've heard this morning, but also to other testimony, because we want to make sure we get this right.
We started down this path knowing that the advantages that are available in these incorporated vehicles are ones that are benefiting, for the most part, wealthy Canadians, and benefiting them even more the wealthier and wealthier they get. We took a look at the impact on women, and we were of the view that these measures were not going to have a disproportionate impact on women, but we need to be sure of that, so we are listening.
The kinds of ideas that you heard this morning.... There are some issues. We are going to keep listening. We don't have all of the submissions in yet. We are going to make sure we've heard them all, and we are going to deal with this issue in a way that assures Canadians that our overall goals are met while we also have a tax system that's fairer.
