Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland on Monday called on provinces to 'step up' and get on board with the Liberals' plan to grant a tax holiday on some items for two months.
When asked about criticism from economists regarding the federal government’s temporary GST relief, Minister of Public Services Jean-Yves Duclos said in Ottawa on Monday that it was important to distinguish between 'structural' and 'temporary' measures. He added that the temporary tax relief is meant to be a limited measure to support citizens during a time of the year that can put pressure on personal finances.
The deputy prime minister was later asked whether it was fair for some Canadians living in provinces with the HST to get a more sizable tax break than those living in other provinces where only the GST would be waived but provincial sales taxes still held. The parliamentary budget officer said last month that it is unlikely the Liberal government met its fiscal targets of capping the deficit at $40 billion in the last fiscal year.
