Canadians now increasingly engage in "out-shopping", which is shopping across the national border, where prices are lower. Prices are lower outside of Canada in large part because the goods-and-service tax that pays for Canadian social service is not applied.
Which one of the following is best supported on the basis of the information above?
A. If the upward trend in out-shopping continues at a significant level and the amounts paid by the government for Canadian social services are maintained, the Canidian goods-and-service tax will be assessed at a higher rate.
E. Out-shopping purchases are subject to Canadian taxes when the purchaser cross the border to bring them into Candian.
