Thank you.
My question is for you, Ms. Bell. If someone travels from the United States to Canada, when they land in Canada and rent a car, they pay generally a fairly stiff tax at the airport to rent a car. They go to the hotel and they pay a hotel tax. They fill up the car and they pay a gas tax. Then they pay GST, HST, PST. Then, when they go to leave, they pay twice as much taxes in user fees out of Canada than coming in the other direction.
Have you done any studies on how much of a negative impact the tax burden has on our tourism industry and on how we compare with other countries? These are the only taxes I could think of just off the top of my head. I'm sure there is a whole bunch more, a variety of municipal, provincial, and federal taxes.
