Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister and Deputy Minister, thank you very much for your presentation on Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2.
Further to the information sessions we held, the remarks heard by the committees, and the stories my constituents have told me, one thing is clear when it comes to this bill: we now have an excise tax collection system and GST and HST measures that are much more efficient than they were in the past.
Would you describe the measures that improved the efficiency of our goods and services and harmonized sales tax system?
