The Canadian Medical Association is asking the federal government to reconsider its proposed changes to capital gains taxation, arguing they will affect doctors' retirement savings.
Ross argues the change could also affect recruitment and retention of physicians in Canada.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is rejecting a call from some doctors for his government to reconsider its planned capital gains tax hike.
The doctors warn that the tax change could undermine efforts to recruit and retain physicians in Canada and threaten the stability of the health-care system.
Canada is facing a severe doctor shortage.
Former Liberal finance minister Bill Morneau also criticized the proposed changes to capital gains last week, saying it's "clearly a negative to our long-term goal, which is growth in the economy, productive growth and investments."
"This was very clearly something that, while I was there, we resisted. We resisted it for a very specific reason — we were concerned about the growth of the country,"

If we need to pay doctors more we should pay doctors more. We shouldn’t use the tax system to accommodate a small group of people. A tax system applies to all citicizens not just the small group.
If we have a Doctor shortage we should train more Doctors and coercively limit their ability to move.
