Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to welcome all the witnesses and thank them for being here.
The topic of today's meeting is a topic we want to study carefully. So we denounce the fact that the measure will come into force next week while the bill will not be studied until next fall. We don't even know when we'll be able to study it in committee. This is not the right way to do things, even though Mr. Godbout reminded us that it has been done in the past.
I also find it quite paradoxical that, in the past, the Conservative Party raised the inclusion rate to 75% and the Liberal Party lowered it to 50%. The roles seem to be reversed this time.
Mr. Godbout, thank you for being here.
It is often said that, for capital gains, an inclusion rate of less than 100% is chosen for more fairness, in order to fight inflation. What do you have to say to that kind of an argument? What rate would make that fairness possible, from that point of view?
