Mr. Speaker, imagine that Canadians have to leave the country to find work. That is not uncommon these days. Now the moment they leave the federal government is forcing them to pay taxes on their Canadian assets even though they have not yet been sold.
First it was the head tax on immigrants. Now it is an exit tax on all those economic refugees who are fleeing this country because of high taxes.
How can the minister expect Canadians to pay millions of dollars in taxes on capital gains they have not yet realized?
