Kenora MP Howard Hampton on HST


Kenora-Rainy River M-P-P Howard Hampton is calling on the provincial government to exempt First Nations people from the harmonized sales tax.

Hampton says the elimination of a point-of-sale exemption on the provincial portion of the HST is going make the lives of First Nations people even more difficult.

First Nations groups have protested over the matter which has escalated the fight over the merged sales tax.
