Yes, that's it. Is this a new type of program? Is there a precedent for CITCA in other harmonization deals in, say, Atlantic Canada, where I come from, or anything like that?

Assistant Deputy Minister, Corporate Services Branch, Department of Finance
Mr. Chair, I will have to ask one of my colleagues in tax to come to the table to speak to the details of the CITCAs.

CITCA is the name of the agreement we've signed with all harmonized provinces. There are now four in the Atlantic, as we have just signed one with Prince Edward Island. There are also Quebec and Ontario, and we signed one with British Columbia, but the province is in the process of exiting.

Thank you. Unfortunately, we are at 5 p.m. That's the end of this part of our meeting today. Colleagues, we will thank our officials from the Department of Finance very much for being with us here today. If there's anything further you wish the committee to consider on these two votes in the estimates, please submit it to me. I will ensure that all members get it. Thank you for being with us.
Colleagues, I will suspend, and we will go in camera for the second part of our meeting.
