Finance committee  Clause 51 relates to the repayment of certain COVID-19 benefits. If a benefit is received, it's generally included in your income. If you have to repay it, the general rule is you get a deduction for the repayment in the year that the repayment is made. This measure would allow for a deduction in the year when the COVID-19 benefit is received rather than in the year in which it's repaid.

Finance committee  I apologize. I confused it with a different measure. You're absolutely correct.

Finance committee  I apologize. That was my mistake. I described clause 48 along with clause 47. Clause 47 is just the notice of revocation for becoming a listed terrorist entity. Clause 48 deals with making a false statement in order to maintain charitable registration status. I'm sorry. I combined the two.

Finance committee  I would be happy to do so, and I appreciate the question. As I said, I'm trying to balance brevity with the need to provide information. This really is more of a technical change. The broader transfer pricing changes are to come later. However, I can speak to it right now. Transfer pricing refers to the prices charged between non-arm's-length parties across borders.

Finance committee  Clause 42 is a consequential amendment relating to the journalism measures, in particular the extension of the journalism labour tax credit to partnerships—I shouldn't say “the extension” of it.
