Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here.
I'll ask Dr. Sharma first.
Dr. Sharma, we've known each other for some time. I thank you for being here. I appreciate that.
You've made some comments in the media about misinformation and disinformation related to what was going on here. It pains me a bit. I think there's a bit of a truism here: If you tax the farmer who grows the food and you tax the trucker who ships the food, then the person who buys the food is going to have to pay more for it.
If you could, briefly tell me the difference here in the scheme. If you're taxing people who make these products and people who distribute these products, then how is the consumer not going to have to pay more?
