Mr. Speaker, it is clear that consumers as well as the business community in all of the provinces really want a harmonized tax to reduce administration charges and make life much simpler for consumers. That is what we want and what I believe the vast majority of provincial governments want as well. Of course, how we go about harmonizing the tax is certainly open to discussion and we are quite amenable to that.
