I know the Minister knows the frustration that small businesses have with the GST. There is one school of thought, that the GST was really the straw that broke the camel's back as far as kick-starting the underground economy. In one way, many small businesses consider the payroll tax to be sort of a northern equivalent, added on top of the GST. I really hope that the Minister takes advantage of any opportunities that come our government's way to find a less onerous way, and a way with less administrative hassles, to accomplish the objectives of this government.
It might well be, and I'll ask the Minister this question, in the next year or so if an opportunity comes about, would the Minister at that time consider reviewing the payroll tax? If there is a more appropriate way of achieving some of those objectives, would the Minister consider getting rid of the payroll tax and using another avenue?
