"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1792972\" data-originallang=\"en\">Right now the status quo is that it's just within Ontario and it's Ontario revenue that is collected, so it doesn't affect any other province. We collect the revenues and they're not tracked across all the provinces that are harmonized. We take those revenues, we put them into a pot, and we allocate it based on economic data. When a province provides a point-of-sale exemption, we have to be able to accurately measure what that point of sale exemption is to be able to then subtract it from the amount we transfer to the province. If we can't accurately measure that, it affects the rest of the pool.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1792972\" data-originallang=\"en\">Actuellement, le statu quo ne vise que l'Ontario et on parle des revenus de l'Ontario, alors il n'y a pas de cons\u00e9quences sur aucune autre province. Nous percevons les revenus et, dans toutes les provinces qui ont adopt\u00e9 l'harmonisation, il n'y a aucun suivi ou contr\u00f4le des revenus. Nous prenons ces revenus et les versons dans un fonds g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, puis nous les affectons en nous fondant sur les donn\u00e9es \u00e9conomiques. Lorsqu'une province applique une exemption au point de vente, nous devons \u00eatre en mesure d'\u00e9valuer avec pr\u00e9cision quelle sera cette exemption au point de vente pour pouvoir soustraire ce montant de celui que nous transf\u00e9rons \u00e0 la province. Si nous ne pouvons d\u00e9terminer avec exactitude ce montant, cela a des r\u00e9percussions sur la somme \u00e0 affecter.</p>"
