    "content": "I have a problem with Clause 2 in terms of the definition of the word “person”. I know that the Chairperson of the Committee is listening. My interpretation of Clause 2, reading it together with Section 26(5) of the Tax Act referred, is that the definition of the word “person” includes everybody. The definition of the word “person” under Section 26(5) of the Tax Act includes your ancestors. If we do not look at it again, I fear that we will have a situation where in the definition of the word “person”, you will be obligated to take over the tax obligations of your relatives, including those who are dead. I request the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning to look at this as we proceed to the Committee of the whole House."
