Plan to Remove Sales Tax from Daily Essentials
The Liberal government's choice to slap GST back on all groceries drove food price inflation faster than any month since April 2022.
That's why New Democrats will remove the sales tax from daily essentials for good.
The NDP's Tax-Free Essentials Plan forced the Liberals to implement the half-measure in December.
A two month GST holiday, just enough time to prove it works.
But it was too short to help everyday working families get ahead of bills and start to save.
Mark Carney said the GST holiday was a bad idea.
Pierre Poilievre said it would drive up inflation.
