You said earlier, Ms. Brisebois, that people had to pay a premium to be Canadian. For example, I thinking of the tariffs that have to be paid in Canada, but not in the United States. I agree with you. There is also a price to be paid for our health care system.
How much is this premium? On average is it 5% or 10%? The price difference on a given product in the United States can be 30%, 40% or 50%. How much is the real premium?
When the dollar was worth 63 ¢, we thought the Canadian manufacturers were making a profit nonetheless. Perhaps it was more competitive. But today, the dollar they get is worth a dollar. How high is the premium? Can Canadians expect to pay 5%, 10% or 15% more?
