Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to go back to Mr. Poschmann for a moment. That was a very interesting proposal, actually. I've long argued that a harmonized sales tax or some form of it in Ontario would be a significant benefit to Ontario small business especially. We actually have to file two tax returns. There's incredible inefficiency in the government collection of these taxes, because we have two separate bureaus, separate timelines, and separate tax auditors. It's a real harassment for business.
You made a very interesting proposal, which is actually to move from a retail sales tax to a value-added tax, which is what the GST is. Since this would be a little bit more broad-based, would that, or could it, incorporate a lower tax rate in the province of Ontario and see similar revenues?
