Mr. Speaker, first of all, this issue is before the finance committee. But I will still answer the question. The hon. member knows full well that the committee, including members from the Bloc Quebecois, is now working on the report.
They are in the process of writing it and I eagerly await it. However, I should tell you that the hon. member's position contradicts that of his leader because when he says we will harmonize taxation between the two levels of government, we will really do it because that is what many provinces want.
We want to introduce a sales tax that respects provincial jurisdiction because that is what the business community, consumers and provincial governments want.
