Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member knows, tax inclusive pricing is something that has been asked for by Canadians from coast to coast.
The member also knows, I am sure, that we have met with the retail council and that the three provincial governments have done so and that consideration will be given to any difficulties that the retailers may have.
The hon. member also will be aware that the retailers themselves now for the first time will be able to take advantage of input tax credits and, as a result of this, their costs will be substantially lower. I certainly hope they pass those lower costs on to the consumers.
