The tax was announced in budget 2021, in the budget documents. There was a mention in the budget documents that a consultation would be taking place very shortly thereafter. The consultation paper was released on August 6, 2021. The Department of Finance uses social media to get the word out: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and those sorts of sites, and the consultation was open for a six-week period.
To your question, there was nothing from the Niagara region, unfortunately.
