Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would point out that when the government imposes a fee on gasoline it is called a tax. I would think that It would seem that, in this case, the object is to raise funds for the consolidated revenue fund. So would the Minister not admit that this is not just a licence fee; that it is a tax when we increase the rate from five per cent to 10 per cent?
