Earlier, you said that, for 2023-24, $2.3 billion in revenue won't be collected. We're talking about $900 million for subsequent years. The Minister of Finance and National Revenue, the Hon. François‑Philippe Champagne, announced that this tax will be eliminated in anticipation of a trade agreement with the United States. In fact, we had expected to reach an agreement with the United States before July 21, 2025. We're losing $2.3 billion for 2023-24 and $900 million for subsequent years, and we're getting nothing in return. We gave something up with nothing guaranteed in return during negotiations. Negotiations never resumed. They're at a standstill.
How can the Department of Finance make up for these losses?
