Thank you.
Mr. Chair, just over 48 hours ago, I tabled a motion that I would like the committee to consider at 12:30. It pertains to government consultations. You have received the motion. It pertains to the document entitled “Tax Planning Using Private Corporations”, which is the proposal published by the Minister of Finance on July 18, 2017. The motion requests that “the committee hear from witnesses on this topic for 5 meetings”, that public hearings be held on the impact of these changes on small and medium-sized businesses in Canada, “that the findings be reported to the House”, and that “the government provide a response to the recommendations made by the committee”.
I would like the committee to consider this immediately and for us to discuss it.
