Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our presenters this morning. It was very insightful. Our study of the service sector is helping us better understand the dynamics and the sectors of our economy which, from the services end, strengthen Canada's economy. You've certainly shed some light on that today.
I want to direct my question, if I could, to Ms. Dayus.
In respect to your comments about the GST, our background notes indicate that in the three provinces who currently have HST.... I guess there are four, because Quebec should be in here. Anyway, in these provinces with the HST, there is a refund of the provincial portion of the HST. This is in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland.
Do you have any statistics indicating how that refund has changed in any way the incremental sales in those provinces? What has the experience been in terms of that rebate at source?
