Since 2000, provinces and territories have been saying that the anticipated surcharge revenue is not in line with the projections. So, for those provinces and territories, it meant that it was a step backward. They were expecting a certain revenue and it has not been reached. In our view, it is because of the rather low rate of imposing the surcharge. It was not a result of the lack of collection on the part of the provinces and territories.
