We did a report a few years ago that was published—I think perhaps even the projet de loi was influenced by the report we published—on the transfer of businesses, not only in the farm industry, but in all our industries. We noticed at the time that if you were transferring to your own family, you had this advantage with the fiscal system. We asked that question—why so—of the Quebec government. The answer we got was this. In the past there was this perception that if you transfer, and while you transfer you don't take the taxes, you will perpetuate the wealth from generation to generation in a family, and that would be unfair. That was the idea. Every time you transfer within a family, you have to take this, let's say, wealth tax. Eventually, the system made it so that if you sell it to someone else, you have fiscal treatments that are preferential to selling it to your own kin. That was fundamentally the argument.
