Mr. Speaker, I hate to read page 22 of the red book again for the hon. member and so I will not do so.

I will, however, quote from a minority report of the Reform Party: "While the replacement goes part of the way in responding to concerns presented to the committee, many of the concerns will only be addressed by future negotiations with the provinces".

That is what we are doing. We are negotiating with the provinces and we will harmonize the GST. I know the Reform Party will be disappointed.
