Thank you both.
Before I turn to Mr. Sorbara, I have a question for you.
We had that big discussion on inflationary excise taxes in the last pre-budget consultations. In your brief, I don't know the page number, but you basically leave the impression or you're saying that the excise duty indexation will, on average, raise an additional $8.45 million in annual excise revenues. It will increase consumer price, and so on, but it will mean an average annual loss to the economy of $87 million.
Are you suggesting that if the amount of money the federal government is getting out of increased excise taxes was lowered, the government would have more revenues? I don't follow your line of thought in this submission.
