Mr. Speaker, we have been setting this particular proposal for the last four years. We have had intense consultations with the industry. We have re-examined this in every possible way.
The very suggestion that the member makes makes clear that the Bloc Quebecois simply does not understand the importance of making sure that those who use services pay at least some measure of the services provided by the general taxpayer of Canada.
In this case they will pay approximately 17%. We think that is a good start.
