Mr. Mercille, in response to the questions I asked, we were told that there were no studies and it was not known whether affordability criteria will be included in Bill C-56.
I am sensing some unease. I get the impression that the measure relating to the GST was put together off the cuff.
Bill C-56 provided the broad outline of the measure, but the rest was sent to us by way of a departmental opinion.
Did your department work on a similar measure or a version of this measure before the pre-sitting caucus of the Liberal Party of Canada in the fall?
