OTTAWA — The NDP would remove the GST on all"essentials" if it forms the government after the next election, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Thursday.
For the NDP, essentials include pre-made meals and foods at grocery stores, clothing for children under 15 years old, diapers, home heating, and cellphone and internet bills. The NDP previously tried to have the GST permanently removed from home heating with a motion before the House of Commons last November. That motion was defeated with only the NDP and Green Party voting in favour.
During the 2021 election, the NDP campaigned on a promise to increase the corporate tax rate back to the 2010 level of 18 per cent, up from the current rate of 15 per cent. Singh pulled out of the agreement at the start of September, and the date of the next election is now largely within the NDP's control.
