For all the low cost consumer goods that come here out of China, there are competitors in other nations like Korea that would be more then happy to take up the slack and we have better access to their markets for Canadian goods.

I agree, but either way, your stuff is going to cost more. Whether it's from places with higher labour costs, stricter environmental regulations, or both.
A lot of the issues posed in this thread revolve around the increased costs due to taxation. Now your adding another cost on top of it (or instead of it?). Again, don't have a problem with it personally, but I can see many others having a big issue with this. Almost all industries are linked to low overseas costs somehow.
