Mr. Speaker, as the member knows full well, the GST has stayed exactly the same. We have not raised the tax on anything.
As far as the tax on books is concerned, we have indicated that we are open to examine all possibilities. However, in the course of that examination there are a number of questions which must be answered. First, is that the best use of $140 million which is what would be the cost on the one hand? Also, is this the best way to encourage literacy?
Those are the things which we are in the process of taking a look at. We are not going to take a frivolous decision simply to please the hon. member.
