Let's be very clear on what clauses 56 and 57 actually accomplish.
While clauses 58 to 60 remove the GST or HST on hospital parking, which we support, clauses 56 and 57 will have the opposite effect. In fact clauses 56 and 57 reduce the scope of an exception that allows charities to provide GST-free parking in certain cases. That's an elaborate way of saying that clauses 56 and 57 will actually have the effect of adding GST and HST to certain parking services provided by charities.
We do not support clauses 56 and 57. We view this as a tax grab on charities. We actually oppose these two amendments.
