HST Defended


Thunder Bay-Atikokan MPP Bill Mauro is defending his government's decision to implement the HST.

The NDP have launched a campaign calling on the Provincial Government to remove the tax from hydro bills.

Mauro says the NDP aren't being completely truthful.

"I don't think anyone is surprised by that," says Mauro. "NDP Leader Andrea Horwath's numbers that she used last week were extremely soundly criticized and actually people were laughing at them at how inaccurate they were."

Yesterday, the Liberals announced further tax exemptions for Seniors and their energy costs.
