We had put $200 because that's the personal exemption. If you or I travel across the border for 48 hours, that's what we can bring back. We think it's a reasonable number and in line with what an individual can do but a business can't do.
Nothing is bought for $20 today. It was set in the 1980s. I think in the early 1990s it was changed to $20. We're just out of step globally. I think an increase is merited. As to unlimited numbers like $1,000 or $800, I actually don't know what the impact would be. It just shouldn't be.... Even if it were kept up to inflation, I think it would be $45 today, which would be a lot better than the $20 that it is.
We have pushed $200 in the past to align it with personal exemptions.
