Madam Speaker, I listened with interest to the comments of the hon. member opposite and, as usual, there was the litany of complaints. But he did allude to the fact that of course Quebec has a harmonized tax. I would like him to tell this House whether that is an improvement over the situation which prevailed previously when there was a separate Quebec sales tax and a federal GST.
Is the hon. member supportive of harmonization as it has been working in Quebec and, if so, why would he deny the same opportunity to other regions of the country?
