The way the Comprehensive Integrated Tax Coordination Agreement—this is the agreement between Canada and Ontario—works is that Ontario or B.C. or any province that enters into this Comprehensive Integrated Tax Coordination Agreement has to agree on any point-of-sale rebates that are provided. The province will choose what point-of-sale rebates are. If we think data exists and it is administrable, then the province absolutely has the choice about making that point-of-sale exemption. Because the federal government is administering the point-of-sale exemption, it has to be administrable.
