Finance committee  I can't really speak to the specifics of this, but this is also something I asked myself when I read this amendment. I wondered how that could be done. The act provides for a report, but it would be issued before the act comes into force. In chronological terms, this isn't very typical.

Finance committee  Exactly.

Finance committee  No, there is none.

Finance committee  This amendment is essentially relieving in nature.

Finance committee  Yes.

Finance committee  It would apply to the final selling price of the fuel.

Finance committee  Likely, the producer would embed the fuel charge in the price of the product.

Finance committee  We don't have that information.

Finance committee  Personally, I'm not aware, but I'm a legislative guy, so....

Finance committee  That's 13.4¢ a litre.

Finance committee  The GST applies on the final price when there's a sale that is made. This would be embedded in the price of the fuel.

Finance committee  The amendment we're discussing right now doesn't touch the GST at all. There are amendments to the Excise Act, 2001 that imposed the excise duty on cannabis.

Finance committee  Whether this amendment passes or not has no effect on the GST.

Finance committee  On the GST, no.

Finance committee  No. If a province has its own system in place, this will not apply. Let's say a province doesn't have anything, and the government has made the decision to impose the fuel charge in that jurisdiction. The businesses in the jurisdiction will start complying with the rules, and they may raise issues that we did not think about when we developed this.
