Thank you for this opportunity.
Yes, we have several requests in that area. For example, I was speaking earlier about increasing the number of tax brackets for individuals. It would also be a good idea to increase the basic tax exemption, considering the real costs of the livelihoods of taxpayers. We also ask that commodity taxes be modulated based on the nature of the goods purchased. A luxury tax should eventually be introduced for certain goods and the tax decreased on certain others. For example, we are asking that the PST be abolished on essential goods and services, including electricity, fuels, telephone service, children's clothing, educational supplies, food products and health aids. We are also venturing into what is commonly called the Tobin tax, a tax on international financial transactions. So, we would like Canada to support steps in this direction, for better tax equity.
So that's a range of more concrete suggestions that we have made on taxation.
