Thank you, Mr. Drouin.
I'm wearing my Annapolis Valley tartan tie today because we have some folks from Nova Scotia, just outside my boundary, but of course they're good advocates in the province.
Jeff, I want to pick up on what you talked about around the HST input tax credit. As I understand it, because we have had this conversation, I want this committee to understand what you're asking. Right now, when you go to build new housing for seasonal workers, let's just say that the cost was a million dollars. In Nova Scotia, the HST would be 15%. As I understand it, you are able to take the entirety of that expense and claim it against your taxable income over the lifetime of the house.
What you're proposing, and what you said to this committee today, is that it would be nice to be able to have that HST provided up front, when the purchase of the home is actually made or the home is actually built, for cash flow purposes. Is that correct? It's just so this committee can understand.
