Finance committee  Thank you for the question. Part 3 essentially contains measures to generate additional tax revenue. For example, measures on tobacco and vaping products will raise up to $1.6 billion. To my knowledge, there are no measures specifically aimed at increasing productivity.

Finance committee  Good afternoon, my name is Gervais Coulombe and I am acting director general of the Sales Tax Division at the Department of Finance. Part 3 of Bill C‑69 contains various budget measures amending the Excise Tax Act, the Excise Act, the Excise Act, 2001, the Underused Housing Tax Act, part 1 of the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act and other related texts.
