Premier Dalton McGuinty says the provincial government is doing everything it can to inform residents about HST.
The government responded to and rejected opposition calls to pay back some $700,000 spent on an advertising campaign to promote the controversial tax, reports the Canadian Press.
The government’s decision to put the advertisements online has drawn some criticism, but McGuinty has gone on the defensive and said that his government was not trying to sneak in the ads last spring.
The proposed Harmonized Sales Tax would combine the existing eight per cent Provincial Sales Tax with the federal government’s five per cent GST. The result would be a 13 per cent HST.
