You are undoubtedly right, that may vary slightly in the country.
I want to talk a little bit about the situation in Quebec. There are two programs underway in Quebec, right now. There is the federal program, but Quebec also had a pre-existing program that is included in the budget. Since one of the conditions in Quebec is that those concerned must be registered with the Régie du bâtiment du Québec, the Quebec building authority, I can assure you that the number of applications for registration has soared to unprecedented levels.
I would like to come back to the chartered accountants. We have approximately one minute left together. I've heard loud and clear your congratulations and your hope that Canada establish the lowest marginal tax rate of G8 countries. Like us, you must have surely noticed that more than $15 billion in new contributions have been demanded to compensate for the fact that the Employment Insurance Fund was looted.
Do you agree with us on the point that asking for $15 billion in new contributions to be made by the same businesses constitutes a new form of taxation, if I can call it that? It is a tax on the pay stub, but it remains a form of taxation.
