Sure, Mr. Chair. My question is for Mr. Wilson.
I just want to turn your mind away from resources for a second—although those are a huge topic, of course, and there's lots of work we need to do there—to the current plight of Canadian charities. We know that Canadian charities do a great deal of work for Canadians, and they've been hurt particularly hard during this crisis.
I was wondering what thoughts you might have in terms of what a government could do to free up Canadians to donate in larger amounts to charities. One of the ideas I've been pushing since I was elected for in October is allowing donations to charities of shares in privately held corporations or private real estate and allowing for an exemption to the capital gains tax. That's just one idea, but I wonder if we could collect your thoughts around what we could do to assist charities, what you think of that idea, and whether you have any other suggestions.
