Mr. Speaker, the origin of this agency had to do with the government's intention to harmonize the GST and to envision this supertax agency that would reach down and do all the taxing for all levels of government. A working group does not make a provincial agreement to participate in these agencies and the government is being premature in proceeding with this matter.
Instead of proceeding without the original justification, why does the minister not scrap the agency and the GST while he is at it and he will have no justification whatsoever for proceeding with this agency?
