Mr. Speaker, from what we have heard publicly from the vast majority of Quebecers, including consumers and the business community, it is clear that they want a harmonized tax. For instance, the Metropolitan Montreal Chamber of Commerce and also the Quebec Chamber of Commerce have already come out in favour of the harmonized tax, as has the Conseil du patronat. My question is this: Why is the Bloc
Quebecois so hostile to the interests of Quebecers and the business community?
