I'll start with the first question, with respect to fast changes. I'll put that into what I call trying to find credible sources of information. I've been pretty vocal about this. There's no shortage of changes. Everybody's drinking from a firehose and the changes are coming pretty quickly.
We're dealing with stuff that is very complex. The average person simply cannot interpret tax legislation—that's usually reserved for tax lawyers and tax accountants who have years of experience. To try to put all the stuff into plain English, you're relying on press releases that are put out by the Department of Finance in many cases. The Department of Finance is doing its best, I certainly know that, but there are errors. As a matter of fact, yesterday there was an error that caused significant angst in the tax community and it was all because they missed the word “not” when they talked about the emergency wage subsidy. The Department of Finance quickly changed that.
This stuff is difficult, and finding credible sources of information is difficult. I would submit that the government's websites are great and should be relied upon rather than the media.
The second thing is legislation. We need the 75% wage legislation now. It's not good enough to rely on the Department of Finance press releases, which change quite rapidly.
As far as a GST refund is concerned, I mentioned that in my note. Technically, that's littered with a whole bunch of technical issues that geeks like me can identify rather quickly, but it's a good alternative. As I mentioned in my opening remarks, I think we need to get creative and put monies in the hands of business owners.
