Mr. Speaker, as the member opposite knows, I am, at best, a mere elf, which brings me to the Christmas season.
Having met with retailers yesterday, they are very concerned that they have good, strong sales in Canadian retailing. I am very pleased that some of Canada's largest retailers have announced that they are reducing their prices across the board. This is good for Canadian consumers, good for Canadian retailers, good for the holiday season and good for the revenues of the Government of Canada and the provinces.
