"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1048127\" data-originallang=\"en\">In my personal experience, at least in Nova Scotia, the major benefit of harmonization has been the elimination of red tape, the number of auditors, the number of sales tax returns, etc., virtually all of which gets translated back into the business, especially small businesses. Unfortunately, you really can't isolate the impact of a measure like that and say it created something or other. But as a general statement, I am quite convinced that there is no business person in Atlantic Canada who would go back to the old system.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1048127\" data-originallang=\"en\">D'apr\u00e8s mon exp\u00e9rience, du moins en Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse, l'harmonisation a pour principal avantage de r\u00e9duire la paperasserie, l'effectif en v\u00e9rificateurs, le nombre de d\u00e9clarations de taxe de vente, etc., ce qui profite aux entreprises, plus particuli\u00e8rement aux petites. Malheureusement, il est impossible de calculer de mani\u00e8re isol\u00e9e l'incidence d'une telle mesure et de dire avec certitude ce que cela a apport\u00e9. Je peux toutefois d\u00e9clarer avec certitude qu'aucun homme d'affaires de la r\u00e9gion Atlantique ne retournerait \u00e0 l'ancien syst\u00e8me. </p>"
