Yes, it is a great idea.
The NDP is the only party that has been crystal clear on the proposed HST. This is the wrong tax at the wrong time. However, it is not just the New Democrats. Let me quote a few people:
The Government invites all provinces that have not yet done so to engage in discussions on the harmonization of their provincial retail sales taxes with the federal GST.
That was the federal finance minister promoting that, wanting others to get involved with the HST.
I feel I just started my comments, but I understand I only have 17 seconds remaining.
