QUOTE:

The tax loss problem related to trusts is “overrated”.

He is quoted by The Canadian Press as suggesting that that trusts increase economic efficiency by forcing corporations to focus on generating profits. Unitholders then apply those profits to new investments, which in turn expand the economy and add to tax revenues.
