Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you to our guests for coming here today. I know it was relatively short notice, so I really appreciate your effort.
I want to start with this because I need a little bit of an education on the tax system for our native Canadians off reserve. Maybe you can just tell me if I'm right or wrong and help explain it to me--it's Mike, by the way.
In Ontario now, if you buy something at Zellers--we'll use that off-reserve example--you pay GST on that item but not PST. Is that correct?

Okay. For British Columbia, for their provincial sales tax, is it exactly the same? When you're off reserve you pay GST, but not the provincial sales tax.

What other province has a point-of-sale exemption for their provincial sales tax? Are there any other provinces, other than Ontario, that you know of?

Where the other provinces do have harmonized tax.... Let's take New Brunswick, for example. Our native population in New Brunswick has been paying the harmonized tax for about 12 years now. Is that correct?

So those exemptions would have been that the retailers themselves are making those exemptions or that the province has made that decision. It hasn't been a federal decision. Would that be correct?

The other interesting piece I just want clarification on is that the short title for this bill is the Provincial Choice Tax Framework Act. I appreciate you coming and highlighting this issue. I did have the Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians come and see me about this particular issue a few weeks ago.
You talk about treaty rights and so on and so forth. You would be in agreement, then, that what the provinces want to do is within their rights within the Constitution--to harmonize the tax. In my view, the bill here is to enable. It's an enabling act. It's to enable the provinces to harmonize, the ones who haven't already and those who may want to in the future.
I view that as their right as a province. Do you agree that they have the right to do that? As you were saying you have treaty rights, would you agree that they have that same right?

I appreciate that.
I have a question for Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters—and I see I have two minutes, Mr. Chair, thank you.
Who are we kidding around the table? We're getting a lot of feedback. This past weekend I was at the annual meeting of my provincial member of Parliament, who happens to be a Conservative. There were some questions about the HST at that meeting.
Would you comment, if you could, about what actually happened 12 years ago in the Atlantic provinces in terms of manufacturing? The speaker had a glowing review of Newfoundland and how it's doing so well. I pointed out to the audience that Newfoundland has an HST. It's one of the tax issues there.
If you're able, could you comment—and maybe the chamber can comment also—on how those provinces have done under the harmonized regime that the provinces have chosen to undertake?

Thank you to the staff for being here tonight.
But my questions are for you, Mr. Rajotte. I just have a question on process. I'm assuming we're going to go to clause-by-clause. Is there any reason why we can't move all of them at once, from clause 2 to clause 44?
