Thank you very much.
I would also like to talk about research and development, but I'd like to refer our listeners to the questions and answers that came up in the past, under the previous government. We discussed this matter often.
Mr. Littler, regarding the retail trade and the de minimis level you referred to, it is rare that people come to meet us without asking the government to do something. In general during the pre-budget consultations, people ask that something be done.
Is the risk of the government going in that direction real? Is the United States, or the American lobby, exerting pressure to have the additional sales tax exemption applied in Canada?
I agree with you; the idea is not to give an advantage to our retailers, but to maintain a level playing field.
