In the submission we've made to the finance committee, we talked about the consultation process that Finance undertook in 2017. They commented on whether the business owner, after selling, should continue to be part of the business or not.
We engaged an outside consultant who was involved in consulting primarily on arm's-length transactions of private businesses. He indicated that, in the majority of those situations, the selling owner was obligated to continue in the business because of the transfer of information and relationships. To differentiate that from a family transfer doesn't seem to make sense. It would make more sense for the business owner to have some role to play longer-term to ensure that the business continues to be successful.
Our argument is that they should not necessarily control the business after the transfer, but they should continue to be able to play a significant role.
