Not surprisingly, I entirely disagree with all three. Two different things are going on here. The Senate did a study at my request to look at the retail price differences in Canadian retail outlets compared to American ones. And I'm sure you've heard demands from your constituents on this subject as well. They want to know why, and I don't blame them. The Senate undertook a study, made certain recommendations, and we decided to follow up on a couple of the recommendations as a test case. We want to see if prices will go down.
The Retail Council of Canada thinks so. They've probably given the same evidence here as they've said to me about the fact that they want to examine the situation. They think prices will go down by these tariff reductions. We'll see. We're going to watch carefully in the next year.
The other thing you're talking about is the preferential tariff for goods from certain countries. It comes from the 1970s. It was designed as a foreign aid project. We still had China on the list. If you think Canadian taxpayers should be subsidizing goods coming to Canada from China, I beg to differ.
