Mr. Speaker, it would not add to the tax bill of Canadians. If a number of the provinces were to harmonize, it could well lead to a reduction in taxes. It would certainly lead to a reduction in the cost of administration which would be passed on to consumers.
The Reform Party is so desperate to seek issues. Nobody ever said that in the province of Alberta it would be imposed on Albertans. We now have virtual harmonization in Alberta because there is no tax.
For the hon. member for Beaver River to consistently raise straw people and say here is a problem when none exists, surely to heaven she can put her attention to the problems and the opportunities of the country rather than the figments of her own imagination.
