Of course, part of your mandate would be to examine tax policy and the equity and fairness of it.
One thing that's always struck me about it is the charging of GST on the carbon tax. I never understood the rationale. In fact, when I asked the Department of Finance, they just said, “Because it's easier”, which seems like such a wrong answer. That makes no sense from a tax policy perspective, from an equity perspective, or really from any perspective other than the ministry of finance just saying that it's easier.
What are your thoughts on that?
