Okay, I will do so.
The slide you're referring to was developed by the Saskatchewan Tax Commission, which was looking at GST-PST harmonization. What they looked at was all of the products that are outside the current Saskatchewan sales tax base and what would happen if GST-PST was harmonized. As well as restaurant meals, you would find children's clothing, children's shoes, home heating bills, and all of these products would then be encompassed by the HST.
There's so much talk in the papers these days about harmonization and the benefits. What is not being pointed out to consumers is that their taxes would actually go up substantially--5% to 7%--depending on which of the five jurisdictions you're talking about. We're talking about a huge shift in taxation to consumers, and the ones who would be hurt the most are the lowest-income Canadians. More of their disposable income goes towards these products than does that of higher-income Canadians.
