I will go to ones that are earlier in the bill then.
Perhaps we could talk about page 56, which is under part 2. Again, that's the new housing assignment of agreement.
Could I have the official who's responsible for this?
This seems to say that, right now, if a builder goes into an agreement with an individual for, let's say establishment of a duplex, the builder would then be responsible for collecting GST or HST, depending on their province, and submitting that to the government. In effect, though, if that individual they contracted with doesn't assign a sale to someone else, they would then charge GST or HST and give that to the government. In effect, even though there is only one duplex that is made, the government is ensuring that it would receive GST twice: once on the overall duplex itself, and then once on the unit once it's separated out.
Is that the case?
