I just have one very quick question.

At the moment, donations under $200 and donations in excess of $200 are treated differently by the tax system. Of course, for someone who earns $60,000 a year, $200 is not a big deal. But for someone who earns only $20,000 a year, it's a significant amount. Are you in favour of having just one rate, whether the donation is less than $200 or more than $200?
