Hampton HST

The MPP for the Kenora-Rainy River Riding says the Harmonized Goods and Services Tax isn't a done deal yet.

Howard Hampton says while the HST is supposed to go into effect this July, it still has a couple of political hurdles to clear before being proclaimed intolaw.

The NDP at both the federal and provincial level have been battling the HST saying it will increase the cost of living for people living in northern Ontario, especially people living in the far north.
