Finance committee The next measure in the bill is found in clause 18. It relates to the reassessment period for non-resident and non-arm's-length persons. For this one, it might be helpful to add a bit more precision. It's found in subclauses 18(2), 18(4), 18(5), 18(7), 18(10) and 18(12). There is

Finance committee It's a little complex, but I think a simple example might help. If you have a transaction with a non-arm's-length non-resident, the Canada Revenue Agency currently has an additional three-year reassessment period. They can go back a little further to reassess. Let's say that the

Finance committee That is correct. It ensures the measure works appropriately and, as I said, this interpretive issue is dealt with appropriately going back 10 years, which aligns with the period for being able to retroactively go back and claim credits.

Finance committee The next measure is in clause 15 of the bill. This measure builds upon a measure introduced in the first budget bill of this year, dealing with passive investment income earned by private corporations. It ensures that in a very particular situation, where losses from a previou
