Thank you.
I want to thank the member from Joliette for his presentation in the House at second reading when we did this and for his support for the bill.
It demonstrably changes the opportunity for the next generation to be able to continue in the same business as their parents, one that for 99% of the time the younger generation has probably worked in themselves as they grew up, and for less than minimum wage. They became trained in the business by doing that, and they take pride in being able to continue with something that their parents have put their blood, sweat and tears into, as I said earlier.
This bill definitely changes the playing field to make it completely level to be able to sell to your own family, as opposed to a complete stranger, by allowing the family to use the capital gains exemption as opposed to a dividend on those shares.
