The member well knows that although Canada as a whole has had wonderful performance in terms of the export markets, the critical issue is that Quebec has had better than average performance in Canada simply because of the harmonization of the tax. On that basis alone, Quebec should say ``we don't want you to know about this because it is such an important adjunct to the economy of Quebec''.
Le député le sait bien, même si le Canada dans son ensemble a enregistré d'excellents résultats en matière d'exportations, il est essentiel de noter que le Québec a enregistré des résultats supérieurs à la moyenne au Canada simplement parce qu'il avait harmonisé sa taxe de vente.
