If I have the chance, I'll go back to Mr. Bonnell after.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4211453\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'm really glad to have you here Mr. Boadway. We have had you here in the past, and we always talk about people having written a textbook on something, but you have literally written textbooks on tax issues and taxes in Canada, so it's really interesting to have you here. One thing is that you have always submitted information elements and proposals suggesting thinking outside the box while still being credible. Those have forced us to think in a different way.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4211454\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I can see your proposal is doing that as well.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4211455\" data-originallang=\"fr\">If you don't mind, I will continue in French.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4211456\" data-originallang=\"fr\">There is one particular factor I wish to mention. You support capping the TFSA at $5,500, as opposed to the $10,000 that had been proposed. You are aware of the Parliamentary Budget Officer's report on the tax implications of the TFSA. He stated at one point that the account was going to cost tens of billions of dollars if the limit was not reduced to $5,500. The fiscal impact could have reached 0.65% of the GDP, which does not seem like a large figure, but since we are talking about the GDP, it is a considerable amount.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4211457\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Do you agree with the conclusions of the parliamentary budget officer in this regard?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4211451\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci beaucoup.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4211452\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vais commencer avec M. Boadway. Si j'en ai l'occasion, je reviendrai \u00e0 M. Bonnell par la suite.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4211453\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis heureux que vous soyez parmi nous, monsieur Boadway. Nous vous avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 re\u00e7u dans le pass\u00e9, et nous parlons toujours que des gens ont r\u00e9dig\u00e9 des manuels sur des sujets, mais vous avez litt\u00e9ralement \u00e9crit des manuels sur des questions fiscales et sur l'imposition au Canada. Il est donc tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressant de vous avoir parmi nous. Vous avez toujours pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 des \u00e9l\u00e9ments d'information et des propositions o\u00f9 vous dites que nous devons sortir des sentiers battus tout en demeurant cr\u00e9dibles. Cela nous a oblig\u00e9s \u00e0 penser diff\u00e9remment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4211454\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je constate que c'est ce que vous proposez ici \u00e9galement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4211455\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Si vous le voulez bien, je vais continuer en fran\u00e7ais.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4211456\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il y a un \u00e9l\u00e9ment particulier \u00e0 mentionner. Vous appuyez la diminution du plafond admissible au CELI de 10 000 $ qui \u00e9tait propos\u00e9, \u00e0 5 500 $. Vous avez pris connaissance du rapport du directeur parlementaire du budget sur l'impact fiscal des CELI. Il a dit, \u00e0 un moment donn\u00e9, que cela allait co\u00fbter en fin du compte des dizaines de milliards de dollars si la mesure n'\u00e9tait pas r\u00e9duite \u00e0 un plafond de 5 500 $. L'impact fiscal aurait pu atteindre 0,65 % du PIB, ce qui ne semble pas \u00e9norme, mais s'agissant du PIB, c'est un montant important.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4211457\" data-originallang=\"fr\">\u00c9tiez-vous d'accord avec les conclusions du directeur parlementaire du budget \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard? </p>"
