Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague for his speech on the bill.
Among other things, he mentioned the measures that have been announced concerning the GST collection. The member explicitly mentioned the five categories affected, one of which was charities. Charities will be exempted from all taxes on goods related to real property. These goods are supplied with real property leases and particularly short-time leases. Fundamentally, that will alleviate the burden on these organizations, which will be in a position to concentrate on their real mission as soon as the bill is enacted.
How can these measures allow charities which are in our ridings to concentrate on their mission and how will it alleviate their burden? How can we make sure that the people who receive services from these organizations can effectively receive them?
