Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Giroux, budget 2024 estimates that increasing the capital gains inclusion rate would produce approximately 19 billion dollars' worth of revenue between 2024 and 2028. You published a costing note that estimates it at about $17.4 billion, so I'm just going to saw it off at $18 billion. My question is about the use of that money. Can that $18 billion be used to improve productivity in Canada?
For example, if that money were used to fund universal child care, would that result in a productivity boost by liberating parents to work?
