This is a typical nuisance that is an archaic bit in the tax code that Paul Martin should have removed when he was finance minister. It goes against the essence of free trade. I heard him say that he couldn't remove all the nuisance tax items because the government needed the money. He didn't mention that it was needed to give a future enquiry something to do. He did say that he instituted the airport security charge because passengers are the ones who benefit and that was a good thing. Yes indeed.
