Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To begin, I have a point of order. I would like to remind my colleagues that it is customary when introducing a motion at committee to provide it in writing with an official translation. In fact, the interpreters have told us that they don't like having to translate motions and would rather read the official version that our vote is based on. So I would appreciate it if my colleagues would bear that in mind in the future.
Turning back to you, Mr. Godbout, our constituency offices are receiving a lot of letters from all kinds of professionals, including physicians. Those individuals are in partnerships, so they are businesses that do not make a profit and instead pay the revenues they generate directly to the individuals. Those individuals are apparently excluded from the initial $250,000 capital gains exemption, and apparently do not benefit from the cumulative $1.25 million capital gains exemption. Is that correct?
If I have understood correctly, why are these kinds of businesses, partnerships, treated differently?
