Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her question and for the continued interest she shows in tax fairness.
There are specific provisions in the GST legislation which do provide for a notional input tax credit. This credit in turn allows registered car dealers to compete at the same level as private sellers who are not GST registrants.
The department monitors and investigates any indication or reports of any abuse of the notional input tax credit and I can assure the hon. member that we have, as a result of her
representations, stepped up our own activities to ensure the notional input tax credit provisions do not result in any tax advantage for any particular individual or group of car dealers.
