Finance Minister Donna Harpauer said the feds made this change with \u0022no regard for consultation or engagement.\u0022
But Minister of Finance Donna Harpauer responded to the letter saying the decisions around PST application will be done at budget time.
She added that the federal government “continues to implement significant national policies with no regard for consultation or engagement,” and that Saskatchewan will continue with existing programs that are currently in place. “Saskatchewan does not have a provincial carbon tax and we believe the federal government should follow suit and repeal their ineffective and costly carbon tax which impacts families and businesses in all aspects of their lives,” said Harpauer.
“The recently announced GST change at the federal level is welcome, and the Sask. Party government should follow suit by removing the PST from construction labour on all projects, including rental projects,” read the statement.
