For the amount that would be charged, say on children's clothing--because the GST is applied on children's clothing, but in Ontario it won't be applied on children's clothing--at the point of sale, the GST would apply. But the provincial portion of the HST would not apply. And we have to be able to quantify that so that we can subtract it from the amount we would transfer to Ontario.
