let me ask this question:

StatsCan estimated it to be $40 BILLION in unreported or underreported transactions in 2011.

For those who are advocating for a sales tax, would you be in support of greater enforcement and investigation of those businesses and persons involved in a "cash" industry? What are you prepared to do to help?

"In 2011, the four most significant industries in terms of underground economy activity were construction (28%), finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing and holding companies (13%), retail trade (12%) and accommodation and food services (12%). These four industries together accounted for almost 65% of the total underground economy value added."
