Mr. Speaker, at the moment, the federal government collects income tax for all provincial governments, except that of Quebec. In the case of Ontario, it costs the federal government no more to do it for two levels of government than for one. At the end of the month, a cheque will be sent to the Province of Ontario. The taxpayer has only one tax return to complete, and he only has to fill in one line to indicate what he is to pay to the provincial government. It is a lot more efficient, and all the provinces have found the system works well.
So, we want to improve it and ensure it will be much more effective in the years to come. It has nothing to do with centralizing. We are already doing it and we want to do it more closely with provincial governments by including them more than they are at the moment in the administration of this department.
