I would like to thank the hon. member for his question.
This measure will exempt psychotherapy and counselling therapy services, which are currently subject to GST under the Excise Tax Act. Certain professions fall into the category of psychotherapy and counselling therapy services.
In general, a bill deals with fairly common situations. The act will therefore be changed so that the exemption applies to the services that are mentioned verbatim in the bill before you, that is, psychotherapy and counselling therapy services. Since it is the Canada Revenue Agency and Revenu Québec, in Quebec, that are responsible for administering the GST, in the future, it is these agencies that will provide guidelines and more details regarding the implementation of this measure and determine the specific professions to which it will apply, based on specific circumstances.
