The annual Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Campaign is kicking off.
But Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty says part of the money Canadians give to purchase a poppy will be now used to offset the HST on the Legions sales.
Rafferty says its like taking money from veterans.
"When you put that money in the box or give money to Legions I think it's really quite unfair that Canadians will now know that 13 per cent of the money they're giving simply goes back to the Government," says Rafferty.
Legions use the poppies as a way to remember fallen soldiers and as a fundraiser for their local chapters.
