Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just want to remind members that the government heard from the Retail Council of Canada in a Senate study on tariffs, and it was suggested that reducing tariffs is going to lead to some savings for consumers. This is in fact a section that applies because we're testing that theory out. It's a pilot project. Not all sports equipment is covered by this pilot project, but we've inserted a number of things that we feel might help us to deal with that.
As far as an iPod tax is concerned, it is only the NDP who is suggesting that there be any kind of an iPod tax. We all know there are exemptions already in place for iPods, and this doesn't affect that in any way. But I do want to say that if this does produce some fruitful results as a pilot project, we certainly are going to be looking at opening the door further and perhaps looking at further reductions in the future.
It is a pilot project, so we've chosen some specific sporting equipment and baby clothes for that purpose only, but not all sports equipment is covered.
