Minister, thank you for being here at committee.
Sometimes we get into the Ottawa bubble, but it's always nice to go back to the riding and talk to the people of Brampton East. When I get to meet them at events or I go door-knocking to talk to them, they're really impressed with what our government is doing, especially when it comes to investment, whether it's helping families through the child benefit, the middle-income tax cut, or our general narrative on tax fairness.
Something that resonated in my neck of the woods, especially as the proud son of a taxicab driver, was the recent change to the tax policy on the definition of “taxi” and how we're going to include ride-sharing services so that they will also have to pay GST and HST. Can I get your thoughts on why you think this is important for all Canadians?
