Doctors caught in Feds’ crosshairs — againDOI: 10.1503/cjs.013417 Abstract: It is already hard to practise medicine in Canada. Patient care seems to be slipping daily. New resources are drying up, or current ones are being rolled back. Provincial governments are vilifying the medical profession. Our own representatives seem to be in disarray, as evidenced by the situation in Ontario, among other provinces, over the last couple years. The federal government now has seen fit to start meddling with health care at multiple levels instead of performing meaningful governance in federal affairs. First, they entered the debate on private versus public health care through the back door. Now they are attacking the way physicians, dentists and all other small business owners run their businesses by threatening incorporation of medical practices. Under the proposed measures, business owners will no longer be allowed to “income split” or to benefit from deferred corporate income.
