Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Professor Lee, to touch on this questionable claim by the Minister of Finance that the increase in the capital gains inclusion rate only affects 0.13% of Canadians, in your earlier testimony you said you concurred with the analysis of Jack Mintz that this measure alone will blow a $90-billion hole in our GDP.

Wouldn't it be more true to say that increasing the capital gains inclusion rate doesn't only affect 0.13% of Canadians but, in fact, affects every Canadian?
