Aboriginal Minister Siding With First Nations

The Provincial government is supporting First Nations demands for a point-of-sale exemption when the Harmonized Sales Tax comes into effect this July.
But Aboriginal Affairs Minister Chris Bentley says it’s the Federal Government that must honour the exemption.
Bentley still feels there’s time to have the tax exemption before the HST is fully implemented.
Aboriginal groups have threatened to fight the H-S-T through any means possible unless they’re allowed to retain the exemption on purchases made outside reserves.
