Thank you very much for sharing your enthusiasm with us. I hope it will be contagious and spread throughout the room.
Mr. Laurin, essentially, you are proposing a tax reform so that there are fewer tax brackets and everything is simpler. We would tax consumption more through sales taxes, because taxing income and providing deductions for contributions to a registered retirement savings plan or a tax-free savings account, among other things, is a form of consumption tax. So you have your own version of this.
However, you're telling us that we need to tax income less and tax consumption more. So, in that spirit, you're telling us that, in light of the recent rise in gas prices, you wouldn't have granted an excise tax holiday on gas.
Am I right?
