The federal government will introduce legislation as early as next
week to implement a harmonized sales tax in Ontario and British
Columbia. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said the HST bill will be
similar to legislation passed in the 1990s that allowed Newfoundland,
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to harmonize their sales taxes. The
minority Conservative government is expected to count on the Bloc
Quebecois MPs vote for the bill. The NDP have said it will vote
against it, and on Friday the party called on Liberals to do the same.
