Thank you, Mr. Chair.

The majority of my questions will be for Mr. Gullick and Mr. Thomson.

I'll start with you, Mr. Thomson.

We've heard a lot of talk about the luxury tax, but actually, in a lot of our testimony, it should really be renamed the “union workers and small business tax”. It's had a tremendous impact on the workers who construct these boats and a tremendous impact on those individuals who are involved in the tourist industry.

Would you agree with my analysis and, quite frankly, with the testimony of other witnesses?
