Three-quarters of Canadians want doctors exempted from the proposed capital gains tax increase for fear it could aggravate the family doctor shortage, according to a recently released poll.

Fifty-eight percent of Canadians said they are aware of the proposed capital gains tax announced in the Liberal government’s 2024 budget, and 24 percent of those surveyed initially described it as “a good idea,” Abacus Data found. Another 24 percent said it was an “OK idea,” while 35 percent opposed it.
