The Liberal government plans to force the Conservatives to vote this coming week on changes to the country's capital gains tax regime set to go into effect on June 25.

A senior federal government source said Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will start the legislative process on Monday morning.

Freeland is expected to table a ways and means motion in the House of Commons Monday morning to signal the government's intention to increase the capital gains inclusion rate.

Freeland is expected to announce this in a speech Sunday in Toronto.
