​ As at December 31, 2023, the $2.5 million balance of government sales tax receivable included $1.3 million of HST receivable attributable to the Canadian operations (December 31, 2022 – $1.3 million). The timing of receipt of these funds is uncertain due to ongoing review conducted by local tax authorities. ​ In Mexico, Argentina, and Canada, value-added taxes are assessed on purchases of materials and services and sales of products. Businesses are generally entitled to recover the taxes they have paid related to purchases of materials and services, either as a refund or as a credit against future taxes payable.
