Mr. Speaker, like all Canadians, hospitals too have struggled with a large tax burden left by the Liberals.
The Canada Revenue Agency has been reviewing the application of GST to hospitals. The Ontario Hospital Association says that a retroactive GST payment would cost them $90 million, money they do not have. Hospitals are rightfully concerned that they could be on the hook for GST, going back 10 years.
Could the government show its commitment to sustainable health care and end the uncertainty left by the previous dithering Liberals?
