In terms of the revenue versus the administration cost--our operating cost--those are two entirely separate calculations. The revenue is one thing, and there is a way the Department of Finance deals with and distributes the revenue. With regard to any incremental costs there might be for the CRA to administer that harmonized tax, that is a separate analysis that is done by the agency, and funding is provided through estimates like this for our operations. The two aren't connected.
