Mr. Speaker, I have a second petition signed by 600 constituents from New Brunswick.
They urge all levels of government to demonstrate their support for education and literacy by eliminating the sales tax on reading materials.
The petitioners ask Parliament to zero rate books, magazines and newspapers under the GST. In those provinces with the HST they ask that both levels of government consider harmonizing their sales taxes and that reading material be zero rated under the provincial sales tax as well.
