I would like to go back to the tax measures.

On the Hill, there is a lot of talk about the famous Morneau tax, and about tax reform. It could be said that undesirable effects are being discovered each day, especially for retiring seniors who own businesses and who have not paid into the Canadian Pension Plan, thinking that they could retire using the dividends from their own businesses. Now we hear that their tax rate will be going up by 700%.

Have you had the time to look at the negative effects of the Morneau tax on seniors?
