I'll continue on in another line of thinking. You've had to look at the impact of a 1% GST cut. In your report, you state the following:
[...] reducing the GST by an additional percentage point starting no later than 1 January 2011 [...]
I'd like to know a little more about the criteria you use to evaluate the impact of this measure on productivity.
I'll submit an assumption to scenario: a 1% GST cut makes it possible to buy lower-cost products, but it is possible to buy products manufactured outside Canada, in China or other emerging countries. However, one could apply a strategy whereby the manufacturing sector has better coverage, as you started to do in the context of this budget.
Are you going to study this kind of question by evaluating the impact of the change to the GST?
