Kathleen Ross, the association's president, says many doctors incorporate their medical practices and invest for retirement inside their corporations. The proposed changes would increase taxes on those investments, something the association says will add "financial strain" for doctors who do not have a pension to rely on. Ross argues the change could also affect recruitment and retention of physicians in Canada. Doct
